HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURECurrently home to Marymount School of New York, this grand property measures 25-feet wide built full on a 100-foot deep lot. Approximate total square footage is 12,300 sq. ft. The house was originally built as a residence around 1898-1900 by architect Alexander McMillan Welch of Welch, Smith & Provot for W.W. and T.M. Hall, renowned New York City builders and developers of the period. Both a banker and an architect, Mr. Welch graduated from Columbia University and the Ecole Beaux-Arts, the alma mater of many of the most prominent architects of that time. Together with Bower Bancroft, a graduate of MIT and Ecole, the architects designed several other elegant Beaux-Arts style of townhouses within the Historic District. Unfortunately nearby buildings 1007 and 1008 Fifth Avenue, formerly limestone residences, have been demolished. Thankfully however, the adjacent Benjamin N. Dukes mansion at 1009 Fifth Avenue remains an iconic example to this day. Other notable architectural works include the distinguished houses at 3-11 West 73rd Street, St. Stephens Methodist Church in the Bronx, Hamilton Grange, the Washington Headquarters in White Plains, and the Dutch Colonial Dyckman House.The first owners of the house were Mr. and Mrs. Albert Gould Jennings. Albert Jennings, the owner of a Brooklyn lathe works (the first of its kind in the nation), lived in the house until 1940.
