The overall impact is grand,stately, and still comfortable in spite of its enormous size and itsappointments in the form of many interior fireplaces, crown moldings,ceiling medallions, and inlaid parquet and marble flooring. For example, contemporary design objects do not "fit" wellinto this Georgian interior. Overall, the approach to the building and the presence of theextensive and well-cared for garden areas are impressive. The visitorbecomes aware of the luxury of the lifestyle that the Carnegies must haveenjoyed while they were in residence. Works Cited "National Design Museum." 2 8. The façade of this Georgian structure is faced with stone and brickand punctuated with multiple arched windows and doors. Adentiled cornice tops the third floor. New York: Three Rivers Press, 2 . According to Willensky and White (429), this large mansion was plannedas a place where the retired Carnegie would be able to oversee hisphilanthropic activities in a comfortable (and quite luxurious)environment. The 64-room mansion was built between 1899and 19 2 by the architectural firm of Babb, Cook & Willard; its style isthat of a Georgian country house, a theme accentuated by the fact that whenCarnegie bought the land for the house, he purchased enough to create alarge private garden which continues to flourish today and which is one ofthe most charming aspects of the entire property ("National Design Museum"1). ("National Design Museum"1). Architecture and Urbanism, 189 -1915. Nevertheless, the structure is sufficientlylarge to hold an extensive collection of many different objectsillustrating the history of design over time.

Analysis of the Cooper-Hewitt Museum The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, located at 2 East 91stStreet at Fifth Avenue, is the former home of philanthropist andindustrialist Andrew Carnegie. The house has a structural steel frame, something quite innovative interms of residential construction of the era (Stern, Gilmartin, andMassengale 342 - 343). Approaching the property, which seems out of place in themore "modern" setting of contemporary New York, leads one to recognize thatCarnegie's home was quite lavish when it was built and that it is very mucha small palace by today's standards. The structure included central heating as well as a type of early airconditioning device. It also contains an Otis elevator that is in thecollection of the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. One is also cognizant of the enormousexpense that must have been involved in running such an establishment. It appears to havefour above-ground floors, including an attic with dormered windows. The primary impression gained from a visit to this site is that usinga stately mansion of this style as a home for a museum dedicated tocenturies of design requires the viewer to adjust to certain jarringjuxtapositions. The building is listed as a national landmark. Available at www.cooperhewitt.org/ABOUT/mansion.asp.Stern, Robert A.M., Gilmartin, Gregory, and Massengale, John.
