City Residence of Mr. Daniel Parish, New York

ca. 1857

Not on view

This Italianate brownstone mansion, built in 1857 for Daniel Parish (1796-1880), millionaire clothing merchant of H. & D. Parish in New York City, stood at the southeast corner of Fifth Avenue and 16th Street. According to Gloria G. Deak's publication, "Picturing America..." (Princeton: 1988, vol. 1, p. 485), the designer of this house was Frederick Diaper, an English architect who had been a pupil of Sir Robert Smirke in London, and a former partner of Frederick Catherwood. Parish continued to live there until his death in 1880; the building is no longer standing. Also in the 1850s, Daniel Parish built the Newport, Rhode Island, mansion named "Beechwood" (acquired in 1880 by the Astor family). The Newport-based artist of this print, John Perry Newell, was introduced to lithography in the Boston shop of John Henry Bufford. The printer, Endicott and Company, established by the brothers George and William Endicott, flourished in New York City throughtout the nineteenth century; their firm printed many noteworthy views of New York City.
