Sutton House is a three-building residential cooperative complex located at 415 East 52nd Street in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. Designed by architects John M. Kokkins and Stephen C. Lyras and completed in 1956, the modernist white brick building consists of a 19-story tower facing 53rd Street and two 12-story wings facing 52nd Street. The complex is distinguished by its T-shaped glass-walled lobby and private interior gardens that connect the three structures.
Originally developed as a luxury rental property by a syndicate that included the architects and shipping magnate Manuel Kulukundis, Sutton House was converted to a cooperative in 1981. The building gained further prominence in 1998 when it was named one of "New York's Top Ten Residences" by The Cooperator magazine. Over the decades, it has been home to several high-profile residents, including actor Andy Griffith, model Carol Alt, Judge Judy Sheindlin, and the 67th U.S. Attorney General John N. Mitchell.
