The four blockfronts, each a unified streetscape, were and are still in West 138th and 139th Streets between Adam Clayton Powell Jr. (then Seventh Avenue) and Frederick Douglas Boulevards (then 8th Avenue). King, believing in "the future of the locality", wanted to "'Create a Neighborhood' independent of the surrounding influences" "on a large scale". The novelty King introduced was that the buyers could choose the designs of their homes: Italian Renaissance Revival (McKim, Mead & White) on the north side of the West 139th Street row, Colonial Revival (Bruce Price & Clarence S. Luce) on the south side of 139th Street and north side of West 138th Street row, finally Georgian Revival (James Brown Lord) on the south side of the West 138th Street row. Another novelty, in New York City at the time, was that the houses were built back to back so that they would share a central alleyway behind the homes accessible from the avenues and from small drives entered from the main streets. In 1899, on the pages of 284:"every part having been previously marked and numbered" and reconstructed on the corner of Madison Avenue and 57th Street, another ground belonging to Vanderbilt, halving the costs of construction. In the early 1890s Vanderbilt decided to enlarge his already spacious residence, bought two "costly" brownstone houses so that his property could face 58th Street. He once again employed Post as an architect, hired the mansion designer Richard Morris Hunt as a consultant and entrusted the construction to King, first giving him eighteen months to complete the project (works started on March 1, 1892, Vanderbilt later extended by three months). Upon completion of the "largest and finest private residence in America" in 1893 (demolished 1927), styled loosely after Louis XII's wing of 853:, New York. With the passage of time some of the paintings from King's collection changed attributions, and the identities of the people portrayed became subject of debate. This happened to the Self-Portrait of Rose Adélaïde Ducreux which had been thought to be Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun's "Marquise de Saffray" (1905 sale, lot 69). Nattier's "Portrait of a Woman with her Dog" at the time of the 1905 sale (lot 62) was thought to depict the wife of Antoine-René de Voyer d'Argenson, marquis of Paulmy, minister of war under Louis XV and French ambassador to Poland. In 2010 the portrait of Thomas Thornhill, Esq. (1905 sale, lot 34) attributed to Romney in the King's collection re-emerged on the art market as by Pompeo Batoni. On April 8, 1937 893:(1892–1965), Dorothy Flagg (1886–1973) and vicomtesse Ruth de Villiers du Terrage (1886–1972). His son, Col. Van Rensselaer Choate, Harvard '01, received the British DSC, and French Legion of Honor for serving in engineers during the First World War. He was a Division Superintendent of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and died during an earthquake in Kobe, Japan, while on an engineering mission. Through Van Rensselaer Choate, King Jr. became a father-in-law of Isabel Davis Rountree (died during childbirth, together with the only child), the daughter of George Rountree, one of the leaders of the 824:, to "be relieved from the office" of the President of the New York City Park Commission. Perhaps, for the same reasons King decided to sell a handful of his art collection at the beginning of the following year. On February 17 and 18, 1896 two evening sales of paintings took place at Chickering Hall at 5th Avenue and 18th Street. Two sales of furniture and decorative objects took place respectively on the two consecutive afternoons of February 18 and 19 at the American Art Galleries in Madison Square South. Among the buyers were the French art dealer 380:

Since wealthy whites began to leave Harlem and economic depression hit in 1895 and Equitable would not sell to African-Americans, by 1895 it had to foreclose on the majority of homes. Equitable retained most of the buildings until 1919–20, when they became available for the African-Americans. Many of the houses became homes to prominent members of New York's black community, including surgeon Louis T. Wright, composer
