Carter’s Review

"One of the city's finest mid-block residential pre-war buildings, 15 West 81st Street was designed by Emery Roth, the architect of the very grand Beresford just two doors to the east.

The building has a very broad frontage of 81st Street and also extends through the block to 82nd Street."
