House of the Day: Historic Find on New York's 5th Avenue

Updated



A gift of the Gilded Age, this regal New York City townhouse is part of Fifth Avenue's fabulous history and will be listed at $49 million this weekend.

Built for banker and railroad tycoon Henry Cook in 1907, the six-floor, 13,700-square-foot mansion's crown molding and paneled millwork are in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo, and has changed little since it was built.
