Carter’s Review
"This very handsome, 13-story tower was erected in 1903 and has 112 apartments.
The brown-brick building has a rusticated marble lobby, a concierge, a two-step-up, canopied entrance, a two-story rusticated limestone base, sidewalk landscaping, protruding air-conditioners, and a rounded corner with rusticated quoins. It has no garage, no balconies, no health club and appears to have once had a cornice that is now absent."
