The George Abbott and Katherine Dodge Brownell House in New York

Unusually Fine Private Home on E 78th St, New York. Located on one of Manhattan’s most coveted townhouse blocks, this 4-story, 18.9′-wide brownstone was built in 1937 and designed by prominent architect Harvey Stevenson. General George A. Brownell and his wife, Dr. Katherine Dodge Brownell, a prominent pediatrician, moved into the brownstone after his service in World War II.

The residence is an example of classical 20th-century elegance blended with modern architectural integrity and executed with great ingenuity by the architect. The garden is landscaped with mature trees and shrubs including Japanese flowering dogwood, ilex japonica and wisteria. The house has 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 2 powder rooms.
