Carter's Review

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

It is one of many pre-war buildings with sidewalk landscaping and seating that make this one of the city's nicest residential blocks. The east end of this quiet street faces Manhattan Square, the large park in which the American Museum of Natural History stands.

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.

Its central Upper West Side location is very close to famous stores along Broadway and a delightful stretch of sidewalk caf¿s a few blocks north on Amsterdam Avenue.

There is very good public transportation and this area is convenient to the various amenities of the Lincoln Center District about a dozen blocks to the south.

The building permits protruding air-conditioners and has no garage and no health club.
