William K. Vanderbilt House
The William K. Vanderbilt House, also known as the Petit Chateau, was a Châteauesque mansion at 660 Fifth Avenue on the Upper East Side in New York City. It was next door to the Triple Palace of William Henry Vanderbilt, which occupied the entire block between 51st and 52nd streets on the west side of Fifth Avenue.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=5th Avenue )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt Residence )〕
==History==
The mansion was built for William Kissam Vanderbilt, second son of William H. Vanderbilt and Maria Louisa Kissam from 1878 to 1882. Determined to make her mark in New York society, Vanderbilt's wife Alva worked with the architect, Richard Morris Hunt, to create the French Renaissance-style chateau.〔〔 Her renowned fancy-dress ball, held here in March 1883 and attended by a thousand people, captured the public's attention.〔〔 The structure, a reflection of Alva's love of all things French, was one of the earliest chateau style mansions in New York City and served as inspiration for many later designs throughout the country by Hunt and others.〔
It was sold to real-estate developer Benjamin Winter, Sr. in 1926, demolished,〔 Miller, Donald L. (Supreme City: How Jazz Age Manhattan Gave Birth to Modern America )〕 and replaced by a commercial building. In a draft of her memoirs, Alva, then Mrs. Belmont, merely noted the demolition in passing. The site is currently occupied by an office building known as 666 Fifth Avenue.〔〔
