The Frick Collection is housed
in the
former residence of Henry Clay Frick,
the Pittsburgh coke and steel industrialist.
The building, located on Fifth Avenue across
the street from Central Park erected in
1913-14, was designed by the American
architect Thomas Hastings in a style
reminiscent of European domestic architecture
of the eighteenth century.
The opportunity to explore the building itself is
worth the visit. That said the mansion houses
an extraordinary collection of the works of the
old masters including, Constable, El Greco,
Frans Hals, Gainsborough, Hans Holbein the
Younger, Hogarth, Ingres, Jan van Eyck
Monet, Rembrandt, Renoir, Titian, Turner,
Vermeer and Whistler.
