On November 18th, we celebrated the 90th Anniversary of the Charles’ Mitchell mansion, also known as the Consulate general of France's building.
934 Fifth Avenue is probably the best-known address for French New Yorkers. For 50 years, it has been the home of the French Consulate.
Since 1926, the 934 Residence has always been perceived as a flagship for elegance. Charles Mitchell, his first owner, the millionaire president of National City Bank, succeed in making his mansion “a show place of this fashionable neighborhood”, as the New York Times wrote in 1942.
On March 25, 1942, The French Consulate, which had outgrown the space it had been renting since 1933 at 610 Fifth Avenue, in the prestigious Rockefeller Center, purchased a building twenty-five blocks to the north, facing Central Park. The address: 934 Fifth Avenue.
This very beautiful mansion, built in 1926 by the architects Alexander Walker and Leon Gillette for financier Charles Mitchell, had been “taken over” by J.P. Morgan & Co in 1939 after the bankruptcy of its owner.

Memorial to the late President of Poland, Lech Kaczynski at the Consulate-General of Poland.
“WARSAW — A plane carrying the Polish president and dozens of the country’s top political and military leaders to the site of the Soviet massacre of Polish officers in World War II crashed in western Russia on Saturday, killing everyone on board.
President Lech Kaczynski’s plane tried to land in a thick fog, missing the runway and snagging treetops about half a mile from the airport in Smolensk, scattering chunks of flaming fuselage across a bare forest.
The crash came as a stunning blow to Poland, wiping out a large portion of the country’s leadership in one fiery explosion. And in a bizarre twist, it happened at the moment that Russia and Poland were beginning to come to terms with the killing of more than 20,000 members of Poland’s elite officer corps in the same place 70 years ago.
“It is a damned place,” former President Aleksander Kwasniewski told TVN24. “It sends shivers down my spine.”
“This is a wound which will be very difficult to heal,” he said.”
Location: Polish Consulate in Woollahra, Sydney, Australia.
