Designed as a row of thirteen brownstone townhouses in a neo-Grec style by Augustus Hatfield in 1883, six of the residences survived into the twenty first century. The facades of these townhouses have New York City landmark designation and are located just off Park Avenue on 76th Street. The townhouses behind the facades had decayed to an uninhabitable condition, and they were permitted to be demolished.

The NYC Landmark Preservation Commission approved design resulted in the construction of three grand modern townhouses behind the restored facades, each townhouse being * double width. The restoration of the facades includes new entrances appropriate to the scale of the residences, new front yards, fences and steps, and a new one-story penthouse addition on the roof setback from the façade and not visible from the street.

The townhouses themselves are completely new, with a concrete structures. Each features a grand central staircase of individual design, with amenities such as skypools, basketball half courts, cinemas, spas and grand reception rooms. The rear facades are completely new, although these facades refer to the memory of the original six structures, overlaying elements of that historical condition on the new design of the three new residences. The townhouses are distinguished from each other by varying elements of style involving both traditional and modern elements, both in the architecture and interior design.
