 Located in the Carnegie Hill Historic District on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, this 1892 six-storey brick and sandstone town house was in desperate need of an overhaul. Purchased in 1997 by Lynn Jawitz, the single-family, 100-year-old time capsule even had its original cloth wiring and coal chute. Lynn wanted to restore the house and upgrade all systems. She hired Ehrenkrantz, Eckstut, Kuhn Architects. New electric and HVAC hide behind original wood wainscoting that was carefully removed and replaced. Years of leaky pipes had taken their toll on the plaster walls. The walls were cleaned and patched and painted the original cream color. This city home has been returned to its former grandeur with all the mod cons.
