Carter's Review
This is one of New York's most Parisian buildings.
Its double-dormered mansard roof, large bay windows and very elegantly rusticated façade could easily make it mistaken for a sumptuous mansion except for its 12-story height.
Built in 1907 as the Hotel Hargrave, it was designed by Frederick C. Browne and was converted to a condominium in 1989 and has 66 apartments.
Its location just to the east of Columbus Avenue is superb and convenient to that avenue's many restaurants and boutiques and just a few blocks north of the lively Lincoln Center district.
This block and the one to the west are unusual for both the Upper West Side and the Upper East Side in that they retain many low-rise buildings with many neighborhood stores. Most other major cross-streets have long since been fully developed with mid-rise apartment buildings and most have retail uses only at their avenue intersections.
Central Park West is one long block away to the east and an express subway station is at Broadway.
The entrance to this otherwise rather ornate building is disappointing. The building has high ceilings and no doorman, no garage, no sidewalk landscaping and no health club.
