About 1845 the first Joh...n Jacob Astor wished to j) resent his daughter, INIrs. Walter Langdon, with a city residence and built this house for her during her absence abroad. He built merely the shell of the house, and on his daugh- ter's return gave her the sum of thirty thousand dollars for the 2^urpose of decorating it.
