Carter’s Review

"This very handsome, Art Deco-style, red-brick, 16-story, pre-war apartment building is a cooperative with 66 units.

The building has a doorman, a three-step-up vestibule, protruding air-conditioners, and a green marble entrance surround. It has no garage, no health club and no sidewalk landscaping."
