From The New York Times, 2/21/1993:

   In 1903, Harley T. Proctor bought an old two-story stable at 11 East 52d
Street and completed a new limestone house in 1905 designed by Trowbridge and
Livingston.  They produced a design in the early French Renaissance style,
with
a facade typical of the style, culminating in a pair of elaborately crocketed
dormers against a receding mansard roof with smaller, peaked dormers. It was,
and is, an impressive house and by 1910 these blocks in midtown were almost
solidly built up with similar ones.

   Harley Proctor was the son of William Proctor, a founding partner of
Proctor
& Gamble, and the son was also an executive with the firm. In 1879 he named
one
of the company's new products Ivory Soap after hearing a passage from Psalms:
"All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory
palaces whereby they have made thee glad."
