About

998 Fifth Avenue is one of the original great luxury apartments on Fifth Avenue. Built in 1910 by James T. Lee (Jacqueline Onassis’ maternal grandfather) and designed by the venerable McKim, Mead and White, this Italian Reniassance-style palazzo building was intended to convince New York society who lived in grand town houses of the merits of apartment living, a new concept at the time. Its residents have included former Senator Elihu Root, Murray Guggenheim, former U.S. Vice President Levi P.
