On Manhattan’s East Side near the East River is Sutton Place, which includes some of the city’s most exclusive enclaves. The neighborhood takes its name from Effingham B. Sutton, a 19th-century shipping merchant and entrepreneur who made his fortune during California’s 1849 Gold Rush and then built brownstones on 57th and 58th streets in Manhattan.
