William Starr Miller House

The William Starr Miller House is a mansion at 1048 Fifth Avenue, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City.

Prior to Miller’s development of the property, the site was home to David Mayer (died in 1914), a founder of the David Mayer Brewing Company and a friend of Oscar S.

Miller hired the renowned New York-based, Beaux-Arts architectural firm Carrere and Hastings to design a six-story Louis XIII style townhouse for himself and his family, to be located in Manhattan at 1048 Fifth Avenue (on the southeast corner at East 86th Street).

Miller died at the house in 1935 and his widow continued to live there until her death in 1944.

Purchased in 1994 by art dealer and museum exhibition organizer Serge Sabarsky and cosmetics billionaire Ronald S. Lauder, the building was fully renovated by German architect Annabelle Selldorf and restored to its original state.
