Rijetki dragulj u arhitektonskom pejzažu Manhattana, Vila Jules Bache utjelovljuje vrhunac opulencije Zlata doba, besprijekorno spojene s suvremenim rafinmanom. Prvotno napravljena 1881. godine, vila je postala poznata 1897. kada ju je kupio Jules Bache, poznati financijer i kolekcionar umjetnina. Bache je angažirao C.P.H.

Od njezine dostojanstvene fasade od vapnenca do izvanredne Beaux-Arts izrade - s majstorski detaljno izrađenim okvirima, složenom drvenarijom i ornamentiranim rezbarijama - svaki inč ove izvanredne rezidencije svjedoči o eri neusporedive umjetnosti. Prostire se na 7 etaža i otprilike 13.000 četvornih stopa, ova vila široka 26 stopa može se pohvaliti s 7 spavaćih soba, 13 kupaonica i visokim stropovima od 10 do 16 stopa. U njenom srcu nalazi se zapanjujuća dnevna soba od 600 četvornih stopa s visokim prozorima od poda do stropa koji zrače bezvremenskom elegancijom. Ovaj očaravajući prostor bio je domaćin nekim od najistaknutijih okupljanja u Manhattanu, od raskošne svadbe do svjetski poznatih humanitarnih događanja.

Poštujući svoje bogato arhitektonsko naslijeđe, ova izvanredna rezidencija majstorski je reinterpretirana kako bi ponudila vrhunski luksuz za moderan život. Temeljita, do greda obnovljena, završena prije petnaest godina, osigurava da je svaki element u besprijekornom stanju. Pažljivo integrirani moderni unapređenja poboljšavaju besprijekornu funkcionalnost doma, uključujući dizalo s punom uslugom koje nudi pristup s donje razine do novouređenog krovnog oaze. Plus, svaki povijesni detalj pažljivo je sačuvan i obnovljen, uključujući 7 funkcionalnih kamina na drva i zapanjujuću blagovaonicu, rekonstruiranu iz engleske kapele koju je donio Gilbert. Obnova postiže savršeni sklad između veličanstvenosti Starog svijeta i suvremene sofisticiranosti.
