Carter's Review
This very handsome, Art-Deco-style apartment building was built in 1936 and converted to a cooperative in 1972.
The 15-story building has 88 large apartments, many with corner bay windows.
The building has a canopied entrance flanked with tall lanterns highlighted by three-story limestone pilasters. It also has a very attractive, step-down lobby with sidewalk landscaping and handsome, almost Japanese-style metal window grills on the first floor. It is distinguished by his bold banding in beige and brown brick. The building has some terraces and a few dramatic balconies near the top of the building with stainless steel walls, which are quite unusual. It permits protruding air-conditioners.
The building is on the same street as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
This is a prime Carnegie Hill location, close to several private schools, many major cultural institutions and several religious institutions.
This is an attractive quiet block. A supermarket is a block away and there are several nice restaurants along Madison Avenue a few blocks to the north. There is excellent cross-town bus service at 86th Street.
The building has no garage, no health club and permits protruding air-conditioners.
