Carter’s Review

"This handsome, 12-story, midblock building was erected in 1920 and converted to a cooperative in 1983. It has 53 apartments.

The brown-brick building has a two-story, rusticated limestone base and rusticated quoins its full height and a step-up, canopied entrance that leads to step-up lobby."
