This handsome apartment building at 260 West End Avenue on the southeast corner at 72nd Street was designed by Schwartz & Gross, one of the city s major architectural firms of pre-war residential buildings.

This red-brick building has a spectacular and lovely large vaulted lobby.

It was erected in 1924 and converted to a cooperative in 1980. The 15-story building has 75 apartments,

The building has a 24-hour attended lobby, a live-in superintendent, tenant storage, high ceilings.

It has white window surrounds on the second, third, 13th, 14th and 15th floors and bandcourses at the third, fourth, 13th and 14th floors and two above the top floor beneath the handsome white cornice.
