The House of the Redeemer at 7 East 95th Street, New York City, is an Italian Renaissance style palazzo dedicated to providing peace and serenity for those who seek "a place apart" - the designation given to it by it's donor. The House is open to all faiths for prayer, meditation and spiritual renewal.  We offer morning and evening prayer in our chapel Monday through Friday. The House also offers a unique space for select events and meetings and is conveniently located close to Fifth Avenue and within the "museum mile."

History:   The House was built between 1914 and 1916  and was the townhouse residence of Mrs. Edith Shepard Fabbri, a great granddaughter of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, and her husband Ernesto Fabbri, an associate of J. Pierpont Morgan.  In 1949, inspired by a sermon preached by the Right Reverend Austin Pardue on the necessity of silence and prayer in the spiritual life, Edith Fabbri founded the House of the Redeemer.  The House was operated by the Sisters of St. Mary from 1949 until 1980.  It is now run by a Board of Trustees and has been a designated landmark since 1974.  The House is considered by many architectural historians to be one of the most distinguished examples of early 20th century residential architecture in New York City.
