  • 647 Fifth Avenue, originally known as the George W. Vanderbilt Residence, is a commercial building in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. It is along the east side of Fifth Avenue between 51st Street and 52nd Street. The building was designed by Hunt & Hunt as part of the "Marble Twins", a pair of houses at 645 and 647 Fifth Avenue. The houses were constructed between 1902 and 1905 as Vanderbilt family residences. Number 645 was occupied by , while number 647 was owned by George W. Vanderbilt and rented to Robert Wilson Goelet; both were part of the Vanderbilt family by marriage. The house is a six-story stone building in the French Renaissance Revival style. The first floor has arched openings topped by a balustrade, while the second and third stories contain fluted pilasters supporting an entablature. The fourth and fifth floors were added in the late 1930s in an imitation of the original design, and a balustrade runs above the fifth story. The adjoining townhouse at 645 Fifth Avenue, demolished in 1944, had been built in a similar style. The entire building is taken up by a store for fashion company Versace, which also built a sixth-story fitting room. The southeast corner of Fifth Avenue and 52nd Street was planned as a hotel in the early 1900s after the Roman Catholic Asylum vacated the site. After the Vanderbilts blocked the development of the hotel, the southern portion of the site was developed as the Marble Twins, while the northern portion became the Morton F. Plant House (now the Cartier Building). Number 647 was altered for commercial use after 1916 and contained an art gallery and airline ticket agent, among other tenants. Number 645 was largely residential until it was torn down. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated 647 Fifth Avenue as a city landmark in 1977, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 along with the Cartier Building. In the late 1990s, Versace remodeled 647 Fifth Avenue. (en)

La casa es un edificio de piedra de seis pisos en estilo neorrenacentista francés. El primer piso tiene aberturas arqueadas rematadas por una balaustrada, mientras que el segundo y tercer piso contienen pilastras estriadas que sostienen un entablamento. Los pisos cuarto y quinto se agregaron a fines de la década de 1930 en una imitación del diseño original, y una balaustrada corre sobre el quinto piso. La casa contigua en el 645 de la Quinta Avenida, demolida en 1944, había sido construida con un estilo similar. Todo el edificio está ocupado por una tienda de la empresa de moda Versace, que también construyó un probador en el sexto piso. La esquina sureste de la Quinta Avenida y la Calle 52 se planeó como hotel a principios de la década de 1900 después de que el Asilo Católico Romano desocupara el sitio. Después de que los Vanderbilt bloquearon el desarrollo del hotel, la parte sur del sitio se desarrolló como Marble Twins, mientras que la parte norte se convirtió en Morton F. Plant House (ahora el edificio Cartier ). El número 647 fue modificado para uso comercial después de 1916 y contenía una galería de arte y un agente de boletos de avión, entre otros inquilinos. El número 645 era en gran parte residencial hasta que fue demolido. La Comisión de Preservación de Monumentos Históricos de la Ciudad de Nueva York designó al 647 de la Quinta Avenida como un lugar emblemático de la ciudad en 1977, y se agregó al Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 1983 junto con el Edificio Cartier. A fines de la década de 1990, Versace remodeló el 647 de la Quinta Avenida. (es)
