Built in 1896 and designed by Henry J. Hardenbergh – the architect behind both the Plaza Hotel and the Dakota on West 72nd Street – No. 13 became the home to John D. Rockefeller in 1906. In 1955, his son, Nelson Rockefeller purchased the identical limestone building next door. Today, both are city landmarks, as much for their distinctive Beaux-Arts style as for their distinguished owners.
