William T. McIntire House

A masterful assembly of a series of cottage-like elements in an offset, interlocking block along the shore.

Schmidt's creative watershed, 1926, culminated in the building of his own country house, whimsically named from a children's book by Rudyard Kipling.

Schmidt's Astor patronage produced this fine colonial revival country house for Ava Alice Muriel Astor, Vincent's eccentric sister.

This mid-block building appropriates the facade organization of a Georgian row at a greatly inflated scale, and accommodates four large apartments per floor.

Schmidt's largest apartment house stands proudly among upper Park Avenue's distinguished palaces.

This large house shows Schmidt's gift for gracious and functional planning.

This tiny jewel of a townhouse is an unusual variation on Schmidt's planning formula.

Another Adam-inspired townhouse, the Astor house is considered by many to be Schmidt's best New York building.

This elegant limestone-fronted townhouse is probably the best of Schmidt's later urban residences.

One of a series of period revival theme villages, French City Village is a semi­urban enclave which anticipated the "townhouse" developments of the 1970s.
