Philip Rhinelander Residence

 office building, clubhouse

5-story office building originally completed in 1866 as a 4-story rowhouse. The facade was rebuilt in 1907 for Philip Rhinelander to a design by Hoppin & Koen in collaboration with Huntington. The top floor was added in 1914 for servant rooms. The house was converted to a multiple dwelling 1945, and to offices in 1965.

The ground floor, two steps below sidewalk level, is clad in limestone, with rustications around the windows, and a central entrance that is framed by Ionic columns supporting an entablature that forms the base of a narrow balcony spanning the full the 2nd floor. The balcony has a wrought-iron railing. The upper floors are clad in red brick, with stone quoins at the edges (except for the newer top floor). The 2nd floor has a stone-framed triple window with a triangular pediment over the middle. The 3rd floor has a pair of round-arched windows with stone sills, impost blocks and keystones. The 4th-floor 3-over-2 windows rest on a thin, dentiled stone cornice, and have splayed brick lintels with stone impost blocks and keystones. Both the 3rd & 4th floors have a single metal vent cut between the bases of the windows. The square, 5th-floor 2-over-2 windows have metal vents cut below them. A brick parapet with stone coping marks the roof line.
