Arader Galleries: Beaux-Arts Townhouse

Built by York & Sawyer in the late 19th century, this mansion is the last pristine Beaux-Arts townhouse on Madison Avenue. It features eight elegant rooms on four floors, sweeping gallery and event space, and a fully functional commercial kitchen for catered events.
Converted to an art gallery in the 1950s, 1016 Madison Avenue has been home of famous artists including Alexander Calder, whose studio is preserved on the top floor. Today, the townhouse has been fully restored in the original 19th-century style with a wide array of art and furniture from centuries past.
1016 Madison Avenue is open for art exhibitions, corporate meetings, charity fund-raisers, and other private events.
