Carter's Review
This 10-story, pre-war apartment building at 101 West 80th Street is one of the most attractive on the Upper West Side.
Known as the Warwick Arms, it has a three-story limestone base with a canopied entrance with a projected limestone entrance surround and sconces.
The façade is distinguished by its pronounced rustication at its corners, its handsome banded red-and-white central façade, its cornice and the unusual and impressive central window surrounds on the lower two floors. It also has large bandcourses above the third and ninth floors.
On Columbus Avenue, the building faces on Manhattan Square, which contains the sprawling American Museum of National History, and on 80th Street it is directly across from another handsome red-and-white, pre-war apartment building at 100 West 80th Street.
This building contains 58 co-operative apartments. It was erected in 1898 and converted to a co-operative in 1982.
Apartments have 10-foot-high ceilings and windowed kitchens and baths and the building has a live-in superintendent, a bicycle room and laundry facilities. The building has a three-step-up entrance and its name is inscribed about the entrance door.
