Modern

(130 E 64th Street)

(130 East 64th Street) Architect Edward Durell Stone was a pioneering American Modernist who designed The Museum of Modern Art (1939) with Philip Goodwin. Stone came to reject the modern austerity and began creating more warmer decorative houses such as this townhouse, which he renovated and live in. Stone’s other projects include the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, India (1954), the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. (1959) and the General Motors Building (1967) on Fifth Avenue.
