After 1883 Tiffany worked primarily on his own. In 1885 he completed
work on his second home, in a massive McKim, Mead, and White–designed
Romanesque revival building at Seventy-second Street and Madison
Avenue commissioned by his father. Tiffany's top floor studio was
perhaps the most startling room. With its theatrical and cavelike
appearance, unique four-sided central fireplace, and forest of glass
lanterns of various shapes and colors suspended from the ceiling,
it was described as "a dream: Arabian Nights in New York."
