the story of
THE LINCOLN ISHAM HOUSE

The House on East 38th

Welcome to a home where multi-functionality and innovation are at the heart of every space. We present its story in several chapters, revealing glimpses of the creative possibilities within these walls, highlighting the versatility and adaptability for the next owner to imagine.

Take a step forward, just past the stone steps, and let history whisper its secrets. Here, at 122 East 38th Street, the past lingers in the brickwork, in the graceful ascent of its spiral staircase, in the stories woven between its walls.

This is no ordinary address. It is a place where time folds in on itself, where generations have come and gone, each leaving behind fragments of their lives, linking to the next.

To walk through its doors is to step into a world where echoes of the past intertwine with the present. And so, we invite you—wanderer, seeker, curious soul—to take a stroll with us and unravel the tale of 122 East 38th Street.
