The George Blumenthal House was a mansion at 50 East 70th Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. It was constructed for George Blumenthal, wife of Florence Meyer Blumenthal.[1]
History
The 4-story mansion was designed by Trowbridge & Livingston, and featured limestone facing. During Prohibition, the building operated as a speakeasy until it was raided by the New York City Police Department in 1932.[2] It was later sold to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The building was demolished in 1945,[3] and a 20-story apartment was built on the property.[4]
