Identity and overview
Identity and overview
This building was designated a New York City landmark in 1990. At the Seventh Regiment Armory, Stratton's Queen Anne-style room for the affluent and socially prominent Company K, of which he was a member, is among the best-preserved. He met Charles Follen McKim at the École, and later collaborated with McKim, Mead, and White – from whom he sublet space from 1877 as an independent contractor – on several projects: a church in Quogue, New York (1884), the redesign of the Elliott Roosevelt town house in New York City the same year, and in redesigned interiors in an early classicizing style, for Mr. And Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish's town house at 19 Gramercy Park South (1887). Other works include: • Avamaya, Bar Harbor, Maine, for Maj. George Montague Wheeler (Later known as Blair Eyrie for second owner D.C. Blair) (1894, demolished). • Carriage House, 150 East 22nd Street, for Miss E.L. Breese (1901); Flemish Renaissance, of Roman brick and limestone, with a stepped gable. Stratton was a member of the Architectural League of New York.
