Carter’s Review

"This attractive, 19-story, beige-brick apartment house at 1056 Fifth Avenue on the southeast corner at 87th Street along Museum Mile in Carnegie Hill has a superb, quiet location across from the reservoir in Central Park and a block north of where many parades terminate on Fifth Avenue. 

The 87-unit, cooperative building was erected by Simon Brothers in 1951 and designed by George F. Pelham 2nd. "
