  • 52 East 64Th Street an Architectural History
    52 East 64th Street An Architectural History Written by Francis Morrone American Architectural Historian & Acclaimed Author of "The Architectural Guidebook to New York City" Presented by the Deanna Kory Team Corcoran Group Real Estate he house at 52 East 64th Street was originally a four-story, brownstone-fronted house built in or before 1878. The earliest recorded use of the house is as Miss Edwards' School in 1878. It Tis possible that the house is slightly older than this. (See New York Evening Post, September 5, 1878.) The house was remodeled and dramatically transformed in 1916-17. The last owner of the house before its transformation into what we see today was the German-born psychiatrist and neurologist Dr. William Hirsch (1858-1937), one of the "alienists" consulted in the murder case against Harry Thaw, the shooter of the architect Stanford White, in 1906. Dr. Hirsch hired the prominent architect Harry Allan Jacobs to design a rear addition to the house in 1901. The house was sold by Dr. Hirsch to the lawyer Foster Crampton of 935 Park Avenue in 1916. Crampton (d. 1926) was a noted sportsman, commodore of the Westhampton Yacht Club, president of the Westhampton Country Club, and life member of the Crescent Athletic Club. (His obituary appeared in the Times on April 23, 1926.) A January 4, 1916, item in the New York Times places Mr. and Mrs. Foster Crampton at the Greenbrier Hotel in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. That would have been only a few weeks before Foster Crampton purchased 52 East 64th Street and hired the Greenbrier's architect, Frederick Sterner, to remodel the house.

  • Frederick J. Sterner
    ARCHITECTS OF COLORADO BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Architect: Sterner, Frederick J. Birth/Death Dates: 1862-1931 Practice Dates: 1884-1908 (Denver) 1905-1924 (New York) Firms: Varian and Sterner 1884-1900 Sterner and Williamson 1905-1913 (State Business Directory dates) Biographical Information Frederick Sterner made a significant contribution to the architectural scene in Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo during his two decades of practice in Colorado. Usually working in professional partnerships, his designs ranged from Richardsonian Romanesque, to Colonial and Dutch Colonial Revival, Mission Revival, Italian Renaissance and Shingle style. Catering to the residential needs of a largely upper class clientele, he also received numerous commissions from the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, including its Minnequa Steel Works Office Building in Pueblo. Frederick Janius Sterner came to the United States at the age of sixteen from his birthplace in England. By 1882 he worked as a draftsman in the Denver office of Frank E. Edbrooke & Co. and left two years later to establish a partnership with Phillip Varian. The combination lasted until about 1901. Sterner then practiced alone but with the increasing assistance of his draftsman, George H. Williamson. Williamson gradually took on greater responsibility and became a formal partner in 1905 as Sterner reduced his Denver practice and concentrated on New York City. By 1909 Sterner lived full-time in New York and ceased to be involved in Denver architecture, though he is credited along with Williamson in the design of the Daniels and Fisher Department Store completed in 1911. During the 1880s, medieval and Romanesque elements dominated the output of Varian and Sterner, often used in the manner of Henry Hobson Richardson.
