TheOgden Mills House was a formermansion located on 2 East 69th Street on theUpper East Side ofManhattan inNew York City.
The Ogden Mills House was designed by famed architectRichard Morris Hunt and overlookedCentral Park. It was constructed at the corner ofEast 69th Street andPark Avenue on theUpper East Side forOgden Mills between 1885 and 1887.[1][2] It was located across the street from both theE. H. Harriman town house and1 East 70th Street, a mansion constructed in 1912–1914 byThomas Hastings ofCarrère and Hastings, which today houses theFrick Collection ofCarnegie Steel Company chairmanHenry Clay Frick.[3]
Unlike Hunt's 1886 project, built in theChâteauesque style and known as thePetit Chateau forWilliam K. Vanderbilt,[4] the Ogden Mills House was much more restrained in its style.[5]
After Mills' death in 1929, the home was left to his son,U.S. Treasury Secretary andU.S. RepresentativeOgden Livingston Mills, who died at the residence on October 11, 1937.[6] The house was torn down in the late 1930s and an apartment building was erected in its place.[1]
