The Elbridge T. Gerry Mansion was a lavish mansion built in 1895 at Fifth Avenue and 61st Street in Manhattan. It was built for Elbridge Thomas Gerry (1837–1927), a grandson of statesman Elbridge Gerry. It was designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt as a French Renaissance chateau. Plans for the house were formally announced in The New York Times on May 15, 1892. Construction began by 1895 and it was opened officially in 1897.[1] The entrance of the structure was based on the Louis XIII wing of the Château de Blois.[1] The mansion survived just 32 years. It was demolished in 1929 to make way for The Pierre hotel.[2] Its front entrance was via an iron porte-cochère.[2] It included sculptural spandrel figures Night and Day by Isidore Konti.[3] See also
