Carter’s Review

"This 14-story structure at 990 Fifth Avenue on the northeast corner at 80th Street is one of the most exclusive and elegant buildings on the avenue because of both its limestone façade and fine detailing and the fact that it has only five duplex apartments and one triplex unit. 

Exquisitely designed in Italian-Renaissance-palazzo-style by Rosario Candela and the firm of Warren & Wetmore, this building has a sidestreet, canopied entrance and attractive landscaping. "
