Each year celebrated interior designers transform a luxury Manhattan home into an elegant exhibition of fine furnishings, art, and technology.  The highly anticipated design event has claimed the iconic Upper East Side townhouse at 125 East 65th Street as its location.

125 East 65th Street is a prime example of the magnificent townhouses and mansions that New York City's gentry called home at the turn of the century. The townhouse was designed in 1904 by Charles Platt, a prolific architect known for also designing houses for the Roosevelts and Astors, and has been home to several notable residents including publishing magnate Henry Luce and Dr. Frederic Reed, a founder of Columbia University’s Department of Physiology. This May, the desirable residence will call upon a group of leading interior designers and architects to transform the townhouse before it opens to the public for viewing.
