Carter’s Review

"The Kensington, a very handsome, 11-story building at 73 Fifth Avenue on the northeast corner at 15th Street, was erected as a commercial building in 1906 and was designed by Samuel Sass for the Richman Realty & Construction Company. 

Before its conversion in 1996 to residential co-operatives, the building’s tenants include the Milton Bradley Publishing and American Express."
