The James Speyer House was a
mansion located at 1058
Fifth Avenue, on the southeast corner of 87th Street, in the
Upper East Side of
Manhattan,
New York City. It was constructed for
James Speyer, a New York City banker. It was a reticent classicizing block of three stories and a set-back attic story over a sunk basement lit by a
light well. It had five
bays on the avenue, where the upper two floors were linked by a colossal order of
pilasters, and seven bays on the side street.[1]
