NYUMBA YA JOHN DWIGHT - ZAMANI NI UTANGULIZI

SASA IMEPUNGUZWA BEI KWA KARIBU $1,000,000

Kwa kufuata mtindo wa McKim, Mead & White, nyumba hii ilijengwa mwaka 1890 kwa mtindo wa Ufufuo wa Mamboleo na mbunifu Frank Hill Smith kwa ajili ya John Dwight. Ilijengwa wakati wa Enzi ya Dhahabu (kuanzia 1875 hadi 1900 au 1910), na kugharamiwa na himaya yake ya soda ya kuokea, Arm and Hammer. Bidhaa hii ilitawala soko kuanzia mwaka 1873 na bado ni maarufu hadi leo. Frank Hill Smith pia alikuwa mchoraji aliyeshirikiana na William Morris Hunt katika miaka ya 1880, jambo ambalo huenda lilichangia shauku yake katika usanifu wa ndani na rangi, mambo yanayoonekana katika nyumba hii leo.

UKARABATI WA KIHISTORIA ULIOPATA TUZO

Katika kipindi cha umiliki wao wa muongo mmoja, wamiliki wa sasa walimshirikisha mbunifu mashuhuri Samuel G. White, mjukuu wa kizazi cha nne wa Stanford White, kurejesha vipengele vya usanifu wa ndani na mpangilio wa awali wa nyumba hii. Dhamira ya shughuli mbalimbali za usanifu za White inafafanuliwa kama “kuunganisha urejeshaji wa kihistoria na matumizi mapya yanayolingana na jengo, pamoja na miundo mipya katika mazingira ya kihistoria,” na nyumba hii ilikuwa eneo bora la kutekeleza maono hayo. Miongoni mwa miradi mingine mingi, White amefanya maboresho ya Astor Court ya Stanford White huko Rhinebeck kwa kuzingatia falsafa kama hiyo. Astor Court ilijengwa awali kwa ajili ya John Jacob Astor IV na ilichochewa na The Grand Trianon iliyoko Versailles.

NYUMBA YA PEMBENI YENYE MWANGA WA KIPEKEE

Kwa kuwa nyumba za mjini za New York huwa zimejengwa karibu karibu, zikitazamana kaskazini na kusini, kupata nyumba ya pembeni yenye mwanga kutoka pande tatu ni jambo nadra sana.

Nyumba hii inaelekea magharibi, kusini na mashariki, ikiwa na safu za madirisha makubwa ya mraba pamoja na vyumba vitano vya pembezoni vya kuvutia. Madirisha mengi yaliyo upande mrefu wa nyumba hujaza sehemu ya ndani mwanga mwingi wa kipekee. Zaidi ya hayo, vyumba vinne vya mviringo vilivyo upande mrefu wa jengo vina safu kubwa za madirisha, hivyo kuongeza mwanga huo wa kutosha.

Kwa jumla, nyumba hii ina madirisha 52 makubwa, idadi ya ajabu. Ni nyumba chache zinazobarikiwa kuwa na kiasi hiki cha mwanga wa asili.

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.
