The Oliver Gould Jennings House is a mansion located at 7 East 72nd Street on the Upper East Side of New York City. It was originally constructed in 1898 for Oliver Gould Jennings in the French Beaux-Arts style. It was used as a temporary location of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum from 1956 to 1959. ^[1] In 1964, it became part of the Lycée Français de New York in the neighboring Henry T. Sloane House. ^[2]

The mansion was in turn vacated by the school when it was sold and renovated to become a luxurious single-family home again. ^{[3] [4]} The purchaser of the building was Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the (now former) Emir of Qatar, who bought the mansion and the neighboring Henry T. Sloane House around 2004. ^{[5] [6]}
