EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sinclair House stands as a timeless testament to the grandeur and opulence of New York City's architectural heritage. This print captures the exterior view of this iconic residence, located at the intersection of 79th Street and 5th Avenue in the bustling metropolis during the vibrant 1920s. Originally commissioned by esteemed businessman Isaac Fletcher and designed by C. P. H. Gilbert, renowned for his exquisite creations, this magnificent house was inspired by one of William K. Vanderbilt's majestic chateaus. Its regal presence exudes an air of sophistication and elegance that is truly awe-inspiring. In 1920, Harry Sinclair, a prominent figure in the oil industry with his Sinclair Oil Company, acquired this extraordinary property. The Sinclair House became synonymous with luxury living and served as a symbol of success within New York's elite circles. Decades later, in 1955, a new chapter began for this architectural gem when it transformed into the Ukrainian Institute of America. Preserving its historic charm while embracing cultural diversity, it now serves as a hub for art exhibitions and educational programs that celebrate Ukrainian heritage. This remarkable photograph not only captures the magnificence of The Sinclair House but also transports us back to an era where glamour reigned supreme on every corner. It encapsulates both history and beauty in one frame—a true masterpiece that will captivate any admirer of North American architecture.
