The Raymond C. and Mildred Kramer House is an early Modern–style townhouse at 32 East 74th Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City, New York, U.S. Developed from 1934 to 1935, the house was designed by William Lescaze for the merchant Raymond C. Kramer and his wife Mildred. After Mildred's death in 1969, the building was used as the Madagascar government's mission to the United Nations. The house was sold in 2015 and renovated, after which it was placed on sale again.
The townhouse is stylistically similar to the Lescaze House and Morris B. Sanders Apartment in Midtown Manhattan. Its facade is composed of glass blocks and frosted glass casement windows, white stucco, blue-enameled steel panels, a projecting marquee, and a curved, inset front entrance. The house has 6,800 square feet (630 m2) of interior space. While the facade has been preserved over the years, the interior has been extensively modified.
