7 East 96th Street

Named after Andrew Carnegie, who move to 91st street in 1091, Carnegie Hill retains much of its charm. It feels like Paris, which is what Ogden Codman was hoping for when he built his home at number 7 East 96, as well across the street at 15 east 96th street. (Codman was actually hoping to build a row of houses to mimic a Parisen street.

 

 Carnegie Hill is loosely defined as running from 86 street on the South Side until 98th on the North side.
