Carter's Review

This pleasant, red-brick apartment building at 1095 Park Avenue on the southeast corner at 89th Street in the heart of the desirable Carnegie Hill neighborhood was erected in 1930 and converted to a cooperative in 1951.

The 18-story edifice has 68 apartments.

It was designed by Schwartz & Gross, the architectural firm whose other Park Avenue buildings include 470, 525, 885, 888, 910, 911, 930, 941, 970, 983, 1045, 1070, 1105, 1125 and 1165.

It was built by the Tishmans.

Bottom Line

A red-brick, pre-war co-operative with large living rooms with fireplaces in a prime section of Carnegie Hill convenient to Central Park, restaurants, schools and religious institutions.

Description

The building has a two-story limestone base and a bandcourse above the fourth floor. It has limestone quoins between the third and fourth floors and masonry quoins above.

There is a very handsome frieze and an ornamental balcony below the fifth floor.

It has a canopied entrance, sidewalk landscaping and attractive terraces on the top four floors.

It has inconsistent fenestration and some protruding air-conditioners.

Amenities

The building has a doorman, a concierge, a gym and a live-in superintendent.
