How much is that per minute?

Keil writes that the mansion was commissioned by Frank Woolworth and built by architect C.P.H. Gilbert nearly 100 years ago, and using the magnifying glass that came with our Sherlock Holmes Junior Detective Kit, we were able to decipher the clues and identify the mansion as 4 East 80th Street. Who owns it? Years ago theObserver reported that it's none other than gym chain owner Lucille Roberts, who commissioned a five-year renovation of the 35-foot-wide behemoth. Added touches include a Cary Grant Suite (he was married to the house's former owner, Barbara Hutton) and a six-foot-high John Malkovich Room overlooking the kitchen, because what better to inspire the design of your French Renaissance-style mansion than a cult classic John Cusack movie?
