About

A pioneer of the “International Style,” the Swiss-born American architect William Edmond Lescaze, a confirmed modernist, set out to reinvent Manhattan townhouses with clean lines and sincerity in approach. According to The New Yorker, Lescaze, “a fierce perfectionist” had “taken the lead in Modernist architecture in this country.” In fact, Lescaze designed 211 East 48th to be his first New York City townhouse, as well as his personal home and studio.
