Carter Horsley's Building Review Carter Horsley

52 CITYREALTY RATING

Carter's Review

This handsome, 17-story, mid-block building was erected in 1929. It is a cooperative with 64 apartments.

The beige-brick building has a canopied entrance with a doorman, sidewalk landscaping, protruding air-conditioners and a three-step-down vestibule. The center of the building's façade is slightly indented at its ends and there are great terra-cotta goddesses above the first floor at the indentations and some other nice decorative terracotta façade elements.

The building has no garage, no roof deck and no health club.

There is excellent cross-town bus service and there is a subway station at Lexington Avenue. The area is a few blocks south of Mount Sinai Hospital and on the northern edge of the Carnegie Hill neighborhood, which has some of the city's leading private schools and many religious and cultural institutions. There is good local shopping.
