Gray as part of a distinguished row of brownstone-faced houses, 12 East 94th Street was subsequently renovated and reimagined in its entirety by Rafael Violy elevating every detail to museum quality.

The first floor of the house served as the home of Salon 94, the contemporary art gallery founded by Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn, lending the residence cultural biography.
