It was first constructed for Cornelius Vanderbilt II in 1883. On the ground level was a drawing room, a dining room (which doubled as the art gallery), and a reception room, with stables in the back. The next floor housed a salon, a music room and a conservatory, while the family bedrooms were on the remaining floors. Cornelius, feeling that others were trying to outdo his house, had it torn down three years later and bought every single home on the block. He then hired George B. Post and Richard Morris Hunt to construct a much larger mansion, with the biggest room being the ballroom. The interiors were done by Allard, with many pieces in the house being imported from Europe. The first floor featured a five-story caen entrance hall from which the principal rooms were entered. These included the library, a small salon, a grand salon, a watercolor room, a two-story ballroom, a two-story dining room which doubled as the art gallery, a two-story smoking room, a den, an office, a breakfast room and a pantry. On the second floor were Mrs. Vanderbilt's bedroom, boudoir, bath, closet and dressing room. Mr. Vanderbilt's bedroom was also on this floor, as well as his bathroom, dressing room, closet and private study. The house was six stories tall, not including the basement, and also had a stable and a private garden next door. It was demolished in 1927 to make way for the Bergdorf Goodman Department store.
