Henry Phipps House
The Henry Phipps House was a mansion located on 1063 Fifth Avenue in the Upper East Side in New York City.
It was constructed for Henry Phipps and demolished after his death in 1930. The entire marble facade was however stripped and shipped off by his widow to their daughter Amy's country estate “Templeton” to a field in Brookville, New York.[1][2]
Parts of the marble were later repurposed to renovate "Templeton" in 2013.[3]
