Originally built for stockbroker Harry B. Hollins and his wife Evalina between 1899 and 1901, this four-and-a-half-story residence at 12 West 56th Street in Midtown Manhattan was designed by the prominent architectural firm McKim, Mead & White in the Georgian Revival style. Located on the southern sidewalk between Fifth and Sixth Avenues along "Bankers' Row," the building features a limestone-clad first floor and red brick with limestone trim above. A central entrance porch, designed by James Edwin Ruthven Carpenter Jr., was added as part of an annex in 1924. After passing through the Calumet Club's ownership from 1914 to 1935, the house has served since 1947 as home to the Consulate General of Argentina in New York City. It was designated a New York City Landmark in 1984.
