The Frick Collection occupies the Henry Clay Frick House at 1 East 70th Street in Manhattan, designed by Thomas Hastings of Carrère and Hastings for the coke and steel magnate Henry Clay Frick. It was completed in 1914. John Russell Pope converted it into a museum, with the conversion beginning in December 1933. The infobox lists the museum's establishment as 1935, but the text says the museum dates to 1920.
The article calls the style Beaux-Arts, with a matching 1977 reception wing. The facade is Indiana limestone. The building spans an entire Fifth Avenue blockfront between 70th and 71st Streets.
The museum moved to Frick Madison from 2021 to 2024 and reopened in April 2025. Admission has carried a fee since 1976, with pay-as-you-wish one day a week and free First Fridays. Children under 10 are not admitted. The article gives no hours.
