The Harold Pratt House is a historic
mansion located at 58 East 68th Street (at the corner of
Park Avenue) on the
Upper East Side of
Manhattan in
New York City. It serves as the headquarters of the
Council on Foreign Relations think tank. The building's formal receptions rooms are also available to be rented for meetings, weddings and other special events.[1]
The house was constructed from 1919 to 1920 as a residence for oil industrialist
Harold I. Pratt and his family. The Council on Foreign Relations moved into the building in April 1945 after it was donated by Pratt's widow,
Harriet Barnes Pratt, in 1944.[2]
