ANG BAHAY NI JOHN DWIGHT — ANG NAKARAAN AY PAUNANG SALITA

NGAYON AY IBINABA NG HALOS $1,000,000

Kasunod ng pangunguna nina McKim, Mead & White, ang bahay na ito ay itinayo noong 1890 sa istilong neo-Renaissance Revival ng arkitektong si Frank Hill Smith para kay John Dwight. Itinayo ito noong The Gilded Age (mula 1875 hanggang 1900 o 1910), at pinondohan ng kanyang imperyo sa baking soda, ang Arm and Hammer. Pinamunuan ng produktong ito ang merkado mula 1873 at popular pa rin hanggang ngayon. Isa ring pintor si Frank Hill Smith na nakipagtulungan kay William Morris Hunt noong dekada 1880, na maaaring dahilan ng kanyang matinding pagtutuon sa panloob na disenyo at kulay—mga katangiang makikita sa bahay ngayon.

MAKASAYSAYANG RENOBASYONG NAGWAGI NG GANTIMPALA

Sa loob ng kanilang sampung taong pagmamay-ari, kinuha ng kasalukuyang mga may-ari ang tanyag na arkitektong si Samuel G. White, apo sa tuhod ni Stanford White, upang ibalik ang mga elemento ng panloob na disenyo at orihinal na plano ng bahay na ito. Ang layunin ng iba’t ibang gawaing pang-arkitektura ni White ay tinutukoy bilang “pagsasama ng makasaysayang restorasyon at adaptive reuse sa mga bagong disenyo at makasaysayang kapaligiran,” at ang bahay na ito ang perpektong lugar para rito. Kabilang sa marami pa niyang proyekto, ginawang makabago ni White ang Astor Court ni Stanford White sa Rhinebeck gamit ang katulad na pilosopiya. Ang Astor Court ay orihinal na itinayo para kay John Jacob Astor IV at hinango ang inspirasyon mula sa The Grand Trianon sa Versailles.

BAHAY SA KANTO NA MAY PAMBIRANG LIWANAG

Dahil ang mga townhouse sa New York ay karaniwang magkakatabi at nakaharap sa hilaga at timog, pambihira ang makahanap ng bahay sa kanto na may liwanag mula sa tatlong panig.

Ang bahay na ito ay nakaharap sa kanluran, timog at silangan, na may malalaking hanay ng parisukat na bintana at kahanga-hangang limang kuwartong nasa kanto. Ang maraming bintana sa mahabang bahagi ng bahay ay nagbibigay sa loob ng pambihirang dami ng liwanag. Lalo pang nadaragdagan ang saganang liwanag dahil sa apat na hugis-itlog na kuwarto sa mahabang bahagi ng gusali, na mayroon ding malalaking hanay ng mga bintana.

Sa kabuuan, ang bahay ay may 52 malalaking bintana—isang pambihirang bilang. Iilang bahay lamang ang napagkalooban ng ganito karaming likas na liwanag.

THE JOHN DWIGHT HOUSE - PAST IS PROLOGUE

NOW REDUCED BY NEARLY $1,000,000

Following the lead of McKim, Mead & White, this house was built in 1890 in the neo-Renaissance Revival style by architect Frank Hill Smith for John Dwight. It was erected during The Gilded Age (from 1875 to 1900 or 1910), and financed by his baking soda empire, Arm and Hammer. This product dominated the market from 1873 onward and is still popular today. Frank Hill Smith was also a painter who collaborated with William Morris Hunt in the 1880s, which may account for his preoccupation with interior design and color, which is reflected in the house we see today.

AWARD WINNING HISTORIC RENOVATION

During their decade long ownership, the present owners engaged the illustrious architect, Samuel G. White, the great grandson of Stanford White, to restore the interior design elements and original floor plan of this house. The mission of White's varied architectural practice is defined as "combining historic restoration and adaptive reuse with new designs and historic settings" and this house offered the perfect palette. Among many other projects, White has modernized Stanford White's Astor Court in Rhinebeck with a similar philosophy. Astor Court was built originally built for John Jacob Astor IV and inspired by The Grand Trianon at Versailles.

CORNER HOUSE WITH EXCEPTIONAL LIGHT

As New York townhouses tend to be adjacent to each other facing north and south, finding a corner house with light on three sides is extremely rare.

This house faces west, south and east, with sets of huge square windows and an amazing five corner rooms. The numerous windows on the long side of the house infuse the interior with an exceptional amount of light. Further adding to the abundant light are four oval rooms on the long side of the building also with huge sets of windows.

In total, the house possesses 52 large windows, an extraordinary number. Few houses are so blessed with this amount of natural light.
