Stanford White designed this $48 MIL 1907 masterpiece mansion, now The Cultural Services of the French Embassy, headquartered in the former Payne Whitney residence on Fifth Ave. See map project for all of Stanford White's works. If you can help, I'd appreciate any comments or additions. I envision this as a collaboration. Info is gleaned from many sources, but STANNY, The Gilded Life of Stanford White (1989), by Paul R. Baker is the main source and THE definitive book on Stanny's life and works. Leland Roth's 1978 MM&W Building list is also a prime source.
