History and architecture
The former Dahlgren House is located on the north side of East 96th Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues in the Carnegie Hill section of Manhattan. This neo-French Classic style town house was designed by the noted architect and interior decorator Ogden Codman, Jr. Built in 1915-16 as a private residence for the wealthy and socially prominent Lucy Drexel Dahlgren, the house was later acquired by Pierre Cartier, the jeweler, for use as his city residence.
