LECTURE | "1048 Fifth Avenue: From Mansion to Museum" — Presented by Andrew S. Dolkart

We are delighted to present "1048 Fifth Avenue: From Mansion to Museum" a lecture by Professor Andrew S. Dolkart on the Neue Galerie’s historic landmark building on Museum Mile. The building was completed in 1914 by Carrère & Hastings, also architects of the New York Public Library. It has been designated a landmark by the New York Landmarks Commission and is generally considered to be one of the most distinguished buildings ever erected on Fifth Avenue. Commissioned by industrialist William Starr Miller, it was later occupied by society doyenne Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt III and subsequently by the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. It was purchased by Ronald S. Lauder and Serge Sabarsky in 1994. Professor Dolkart has been active in historic preservation in New York City for over thirty years in his capacity as a staff member at the Landmarks Preservation Commission, as a freelance consultant, and as a teacher. He has written extensively about the architecture and development of New York City, focusing in particular on the city’s vernacular building types and how they influenced the character of neighborhoods. His books include "Morningside Heights: A History of Its Architecture and Development"  and "1048 Fifth Avenue: From Mansion to Museum."
