Carter's Review
This attractive, beige-brick, 10-story building is a cooperative and was erected in 1928. It has 40 apartments.
The mid-block building is just to the east of a very fine Art Deco-style apartment building at 3 East 85th Street and across the street from two modern townhouses and the imposing luxury apartment tower at 30 East 85th Street.
While this block obviously has its architectural attractions, it is also considerable traffic as it leads directly into the westward bound transverse road in Central Park at Fifth Avenue.
This building has a canopied entrance with a four-step-down vestibule with fine wrought-iron doors. A limestone cartouche above the entrance bears the letters "G" and "W." The building has no sidewalk landscaping, and protruding air-conditioners.
The building has no doorman, health club, no garage and no roof deck. It is half a block from a supermarket and there is very good local shopping and several nearby restaurants. There are cross-town buses on 84th and 86th Streets and an express subway station at 86th Street and Lexington Avenue.
The building is convenient to Museum Mile and there are numerous religious institutions nearby as well.
