An 1835 mansion that has never before been listed for public sale has just gone on the market. The five-story, 10,000 s/f home is located at 436 West 20th St.
The house, developed by Don Alonzo Cushman and built for the estate of John N. Smith, is on the same block as the famous Cushman Row, between 9th and 10th Ave.
"It is one of just a few houses like this in New York - an extra wide, double deep, late Federal brick house that is amazingly intact," said Carl Black, architectural color designer and partner of Liberty Design Consultants, Hudson, N.Y., who is a consultant on the project. This home is 25 and half feet wide, 87 feet deep and was built on a 110-foot lot. Houses of this period were almost never built this large (they are generally 3,000-4,000 s/f). Tags:
