The American Irish Historical Society

Full Page NYT ad for AIHS

The move to sell the American Irish Historical Society on Fifth Avenue appears to be ramping up.

The real estate firm Brown Harris Stevens took out a full page ad in Sunday's New York Times Property Section with a top of the page headline "The Best Location Now at the Best Price."

That "Best Location" is 991 Fifth Avenue, the home of the AIHS.

The listed price in the ad, as it has been in recent weeks, is $44 million - down from an original asking price of $52 million.

The ad includes seven interior photos from 991 but not an exterior shot. And the building is not identified in the ad as the AIHS.

The ad states in part: "One For The Ages Many buyers find a townhouse to be the most exquisite form of city living - so much space, utterly self-contained, flexible renovation options, with private outdoor spaces than can pan an entire roof top, rear gardens and elegant terraces."
