Willard D. Straight House

The Willard D. Straight House is a mansion at 1130 Fifth Avenue, at 94th Street, in the Carnegie Hill section of the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City, United States.

The mansion was designed by Delano & Aldrich in the neo-Georgian style and was completed in 1915 as the New York City residence of Willard Dickerman Straight.

[1] The Straight family also owned a complementary building at 162 East 92nd Street, also designed by Delano & Aldrich, that was used as a garage.

[7] In 2000, ICP sold the building for $17.5 million to hedge fund founder Bruce Kovner for use as a personal residence.

[8][9] The noise and debris associated with Kovner's years-long conversion of the building back to a residence reportedly caused his neighbors dismay.
