Carter Horsley's Building Review Carter Horsley

Carter's Review

This interesting, rather ornate, midblock apartment house was erected in 1920 and converted to a cooperative in 1987.

It is distinguished by its very handsome, large decorative balconies which were designed with overlapping circles, and an ornate roofline with two small peaks and garland-like bas-reliefs.

The 12-story building has only 30 apartments.

The beige-brick building has a fine location that is very convenient to public transportation, neighborhood shopping, several major museums, several private schools and several religious institutions.

The building has a canopied entrance beneath a wrought-iron balcony and a two-story limestone base. It has a small lobby with a concierge and sidewalk landscaping. It permits protruding air-conditioners and has no garage.
