Carter’s Review

"This handsome, 6-story, mid-block building was erected in 1946 and is a cooperative with 54 apartments.

This building has a very good Upper East Side location. There is a fine Art Deco-style apartment building on the northeast corner at 78th Street and Lexington Avenue and this block has some attractive townhouses. This building is convenient to many restaurants and good neighborhood shopping."
