William A. Clark House
The William A. Clark House, also known as "Clark's Folly",〔 was a mansion located at 952 Fifth Avenue on the northeast corner of its intersection with East 77th Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
==Construction==
William A. Clark, an enormously wealthy entrepreneur and politician from Montana, commissioned the New York firm of Lord and Hewlett to build the house in 1897. The house was completed in 1911, after numerous legal disputes,〔(Senator Clark's New Home Causes a Suit ) ''New York Times'', December 11, 1901.〕 at a cost of $7 million〔 (). The house contained 121 rooms, 31 baths, four art galleries, a swimming pool, a concealed garage, and a private underground rail line to bring in coal for heat.
It was reported that Clark bought a quarry in New Hampshire, at a cost of $50,000 (), and built a railroad to get out the stone for the building. He also bought a bronze foundry employing 200 men to manufacture the bronze fittings.〔 In addition, he imported marble from Italy, oak from Sherwood Forest in England, and parts of old French Château's for the interior.〔
