Carter's Review

This very handsome, pre-war apartment building at 14 Sutton Place South on the northwest corner at 56th Street was built in 1929 and converted to a co-operative in 1957.  The 15-story building has 93 apartments. 

It was designed by Rosario Candela, who also designed the even more impressive apartment building at 1 Sutton Place South directly across the street. 

A west-bound bus has a stop on the northwest corner of 57th Street and Sutton Place where there is a small park across the street.

Bottom Line

A red-brick apartment building on Sutton Place designed by Rosario Candela with large layouts, some with two fireplaces.

Description

The building has a canopied entrance with sidewalk landscaping and a one-story, rusticated limestone base and some corner window surrounds on the second through the fourth floors. 

There are thin bandcourses above the fourth and the 7th floors. 

The building has a small cornice and some discrete air-conditioners.

Amenities

The building has a doorman, a roof garden, a gym, storage and a laundry.  Pets are permitted.
