Early lifeFlagg was born on June 16, 1820 in New Haven, Connecticut.[1] His father, Henry Collins Flagg, was a one time mayor of New Haven.[2] He was the younger brother of artists George Whiting Flagg and Henry Collins Flagg III. The Flagg brothers all studied painting under their famous uncle, Washington Allston, and received some recognition of their own. When he was only sixteen years old, Jared exhibited a portrait of his father in the National Academy and was favorably noticed by the critics. As a young man, Flagg settled in Hartford, Connecticut. He moved to New York in 1849 and was soon elected an academician. Jared pursued the study of theology at intervals with his art, and, in 1854, he entered the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Flagg received the degree of A.M. from Trinity College in 1861, and that of S.T.D. from Columbia University in 1863.[1] CareerFlagg was an Episcopal minister for a decade until he resumed the practice of his art. He occasionally painted ideal figure pictures but made portraits his specialty. Among Flagg's more notable portraits are of several of the judges of the New York Court of Appeals, including a three-quarter length of Chief Justice Sanford E. Church, which was placed in the new state capitol; a life-size full-length of William M. Evarts, also hung in the capitol (1887); and several portraits of Commodore Vanderbilt, one of which hangs in the directors' room at the Grand Central depot in New York. He did a portrait of William H. Vanderbilt.[1] Other notable paintings by Jared Flagg include Holy Thoughts and Paul before Felix (1849), and Angelo and Isabella (1850).{{citation needed|date=June 2015}} Beginning in 1881, Flagg started organizing the syndicates behind the first co-operative apartment houses in New York City. He earned a reputation as a sharp dealer in this new kind of investment, where capital was raised from future occupants, who were sometimes easily fleeced with overly optimistic predictions.[3] In 1882, Flagg acquired the lot next to the square leading to Central Park, the site of the present Plaza Hotel, intending to build "the largest and handsomest apartment house ever erected in this country." The idea of a luxury apartment building was essentially unknown at the time; the earliest co-ops were conceived as communal artists' dwellings.[4] Later that year, Flagg's project had fallen through, and his partners had backed out. After going through several architects, financial problems and ownership groups, the "Plaza" was finally completed as its present incarnation in 1907.[4] Personal life and deathFlagg had seven children, including Ernest Flagg, who became a notable architect.[5][6] Flagg died on September 25, 1899 in New York City.[1] GalleryReferences1. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|title=Obituary.
