NYC- Fifth Avenue Cartier Mansion

This mansion (constructed in 1904) is the last surviving mansion in midtown Manhattan.

 

Tradition has it that when Cartier bought this mansion in 1917, he paid for it with a million dollar pearl necklace that the wife of the former owner coveted. A painting of the lady after she got the pearls now greats customers entering the store.
