The Past as Prologue: History of The Vanderbilt MansionOriginally built in 188 1 by architect B. Lynd during the Gilded Age in classical Neo-Grecian style, 39 East 72nd Street acquired its true fame as The Vanderbilt Mansion, having once been home to socialite and artist Gloria Vanderbilt; the only daughter of Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt and heiress to the Vanderbilt fortune. Standing 27 feet wide at the 72nd Street entrance to Central Park, 39 East 72nd Street was the perfect stage from which New York high society would witness Gloria embark on her journey of becoming an influential i con of fashion, art, and culture as well as mother to prestigious CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper. Mrs. Vanderbilt eventually sold her mansion to The Mangold Family, who reconfigured the building into a multifamily residence, as it has remained since, waiting to be restored to its former glory. The Architect: CetraRuddyCetraRuddy, founded in 1987 by creative geniuses John Cetra and Nancy Ruddy, has designed a diverse portfolio of prolific projects across the city ranging in both size and style, including One Madison, Walker Tower, and The Barbizon and has received numerous industry awards. CetraRuddy now has set its sights to the Vanderbilt Mansion on the Upper East Side with a vision much greater and grander than restoring it to a single family home and as a recognized leader in both historic building restoration and innovative building technology, there is no better firm for the job.
