Summary
| Description |
English: The William and Helen Martin Murphy Ziegler, Jr. House, located at 116 East 55th Street between Park and Lexington Avenues in the Midtown neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, was built in 1926-27 and was designed by William L. Bottomley in the Neo-Georgian syle, which Bottomley specialized in during the 1920s and 1930s.
The 37.5-foot wide house's four-and-a-half story facade features Flemish blond brickwork with burnt leaders, splayed lintels and end quoins, along with paneled wood shutters and a grey slate roof that is steeply pitched with set-in dormer windows and end chimneys. Ziegler, who was a businessman, sportsman, philanthropist – he was the head of several foundations for the blind – lived in the house until 1958, after which it was converted into offices. It is currently used by the State University of New York for the SUNY Global Center. The building was designated a New York City landmark on May 1, 2001.
