The Jewish Museum

By the early 1900's, Fifth Avenue facing Central Park was lined with magnificent homes. This building is one of the few surviving residences from this period and an exceptional example of a chateau in the French Gothic style. Designed by C.P.H. Gilbert, it was completed in 1908 for Felix and Frieda Schiff Warburg. Felix Warburg was a financier, art collector, and leader in the Jewish community. In 1947, his wife donated the mansion to the Jewish Theological Seminary of America as a permanent home for the Jewish Museum.
