Francis F. Palmer House
The Francis F. Palmer House is a mansion located at 75 East 93rd Street in New York City. It was designed by the architects Delano & Aldrich and constructed for Francis F. Palmer in 1914. George F. Baker, Jr. purchased the house in 1917, and engaged Delano & Aldrich to design several additions: an annex on Park Avenue; a ballroom wing; a house for staff at 69 East 93rd Street. The placement of the original house, the ballroom and the staff quarters form a small garden facing East 93rd Street.
Baker added a separate townhouse to the complex at 67 East 93rd Street, also designed by Delano & Aldrich, to be used as a residence for Baker's father, George F. Baker Sr.. The house was completed in October 1931,[1] but the father died at his Madison Avenue home before he could move into the new house.[2] The house is currently (2015) owned by the financier Dick Jenrette.
