這座壯麗的世紀之交大廈於1905年為紐約實業家喬治·蓋爾建造，由著名建築師史丹佛·懷特的弟子H.B.摩爾設計，靈感來自懷特在西海岸雅虎俱樂部的開創性設計。蓋爾大廈在美國建築師協會指南中被列入紐約市，這對於一座單戶住宅而言是較為罕見的榮譽。它曾出現在眾多電影和電視節目中，並且是布魯克林最具標誌性的住宅之一。

蓋爾大廈坐落於一個三分之一英畝的綠意盎然且私密的角落地段，位於阿爾比馬爾路上，該路段被《紐約時報》的克里斯多福·格雷形容為“整個城市中最宏偉的住宅街之一”。它是前景公園南歷史區的冠冕明珠，一件充滿活力的傑作，擁有高聳的雙層門廊、拱型窗和直立、25英尺高的圓柱支撐。這個家矗立在阿爾比馬爾路旁一系列具有建築意義的房屋之上，這不是一條普通的城市街道，而是一條如公園般的林蔭大道，配有綠化空間。寧靜的環境並未受到街道停車的影響，因為這裡不允許街頭停車（別擔心，您有一個可容納兩輛車的車庫）。在周末的“開放街道”行人項目期間，阿爾比馬爾路會化身為您自己的公園，離您的前門只有幾步之遙。前景公園和遊行廣場僅有兩個街區，適合您進行更長的散步、跑步或騎自行車。泥土網球場、划艇、足球場和騎馬活動構成了這個獨特的城市乡村環境。

蓋爾大廈擁有22間房間、9間臥室和7.5間浴室，是一個11,400平方英尺的即買即住住宅，由其建築師擁有者全面修復和翻新，達到了精細的程度，包括最先進的機械系統和材料，提供與全新房屋相媲美的效率、舒適和奢華。
令人敬畏的有蓋門廊，以壯觀的規模和宏偉程度歡迎您進入令人嘆為觀止的前廳，這裡展示了精美修復的原始細節，包括慷慨的樓梯和帶有原始新古典風格壁爐的工作壁爐——這個前廳不僅僅是一條走廊，而是一個您可以享受與木火共度時光或招待客人的寬敞房間。

陽光灑滿的客廳擁有一個卡拉卡塔大理石鑲嵌壁爐，配有19世紀雕刻的木質壁爐架和非常罕見的圓形鏡子。臥室以現代的喬納森·阿德勒吊燈為點綴。通過桃花心木的口袋雙層門進入相鄰的雅致圖書館，沉醉於富有色澤的橡木和皮革護牆板、內置書架和定製的橡木櫥櫃中。客廳的圓角突出有的壁燈，勾勒出莊嚴的窗口和與維多利亞風格壁紙相得益彰的裝飾性修飾條。在桃花心木面板的餐廳中舉辦優雅的聚會，此處擁有精美的鉛玻璃櫃子、工作中的燃氣壁爐和壯觀的窗戶牆，向花園和庭院展現出寧靜的景色。
家中的中心是一個700平方英尺的主廚廚房，配備頂級設備，包括Sub-Zero冰箱、Viking專業爐具和雙烤箱以及3台Fisher Paykel洗碗機，還有巴黎風格的鏡面玻璃後擋板、雕刻的大理石農田水槽、一個超硬的天然卡拉卡塔石英岩中央島，上面懸掛著古董青銅吊燈，閃閃發光的不銹鋼檯面、定製櫥櫃、由Putnam & Co設計的橡木圖書館移動梯，以及完美的點綴——一個木燒火爐和從蘇格蘭一座城堡提取的古董石灰岩壁爐架。一個可容納6人的通風早餐角落，为休闲用餐提供了一个舒適的場所，法式門通向一個寬敞的藍石露台，俯瞰著一片郁郁蔥蔥的南向草坪，這是露天用餐和親密花園派對的典雅設置。
在二樓，這個陽光普照的宮殿般的主臥室。

This majestic turn-of-the-century mansion was built for the New York Industrialist George Gale in 1905 by H.B. Moore, a disciple of famed architect Stanford White, inspired by White’s seminal design of the Atlantic Yacht Club in Seagate. The Gale Mansion is featured in the American Institute of Architects Guide to New York City, a rare distinction for a single-family house. It has appeared in numerous feature films and television shows, and is one of the most iconic homes in Brooklyn.

Situated on a third of an acre, a lush and private sprawling corner parcel on Albemarle Road, which was described by The New York Times’ Christopher Gray as “one of the grandest residential streets in the whole city”, stands the Gale Mansion, the Crown Jewel of the Prospect Park South Historic District, an exuberant masterpiece with a towering two-story portico crowned by eyebrow dormers and supported by soaring, 25' foot fluted columns. This home presides over an impressive array of architecturally significant houses that line Albemarle Road, no ordinary city street, but a park-like boulevard with a landscaped greenspace. The serene setting is not sullied by on-street parking which is not allowed (do not fret, you have a 2-car garage). During the “open street” pedestrian program on weekends, Albemarle Road transforms into your very own park, just steps from your front door. Prospect Park and the Parade Grounds are only two blocks away for longer walks, runs, or bike rides. Clay court tennis, paddle boats, soccer fields, and horseback riding round out this unique country-in-the-city setting.

The Gale Mansion, comprised of 22 rooms, 9 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms, is an 11,400 square foot turnkey home, entirely restored and renovated to a meticulous degree by its architect-owner, including state of the art mechanical systems and materials that provide the efficiency, comfort and luxury of a brand new home.
The awe inspiring, covered porch, a spectacle of colossal scale and grandeur welcomes you into the breathtaking foyer that is a showcase of beautifully restored original detail including the sweeping, grand staircase and the working fireplace with its original neoclassical mantel- this foyer is no mere hallway, but a grand room you will enjoy spending time in by the wood fire, or receiving party guests.

The sun-drenched living room boasts a Calacatta marble mosaic fireplace with a 19th century carved wood mantel and very rare round over-mirror. The room is accented by a modern Jonathan Adler chandelier. Enter the adjacent handsome library through the mahogany pocket double doors, and luxuriate in the richly stained oak and leather wainscoting, built-in bookshelves and custom oak cabinetry. The parlor, with rounded corners, highlights period sconces that frame stately windows and ornamental trim that complements Victorian inspired wallpaper. Host elegant soirées in the mahogany-paneled dining room with a splendid leaded glass breakfront, working gas fireplace, and magnificent wall of windows that reveals a tranquil view to the garden and patio.
The heart of the home awaits in the 700-square-foot chef’s kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line appliances—including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking pro-range and double oven, and 3 Fisher Paykel dish washers—a Parisian mirror-glass backsplash, a carved marble farm sink, a super-hard, natural Calacatta quartzite center island adorned by antique bronze chandeliers, gleaming stainless steel countertops, bespoke cabinetry, an oak library rolling ladder by Putnam & Co, as well as the finishing touch- a wood-burning fireplace and antique limestone mantel sourced from a castle in Scotland. An airy breakfast nook seating 6, provides a cozy spot for casual dining, and through the French doors is an expansive bluestone terrace overlooking a lushly landscaped south-facing lawn, the quintessential setting for alfresco dining and intimate garden parties.
