The 15-story pre-war apartment building at 220 West 93rd Street on the southeast corner at Broadway is being converted to condominiums.
It is across Broadway from a rental building now nearing completion and across 93rd Street from the Advent Lutheran Church/Broadway United Church of Christ. It is also just to the west of Congregation Shaare Zedek and half a block south of an entrance to the 96th Street IRT subway station.
The beige-brick building has a canopied entrance flanked by handsome brass wall lanterns and a two-story limestone base. The entrance has an attractive broken pediment surround.
The building, which has about 64 apartments, has a doorman and some nice decorative balconies, a stringcourse at the 13th floor, handsome pilasters and spandrels on the top two floors and an attractive cornice. It has no sidewalk landscaping and no garage.
Apartments range in size from 1,117 to 2,141 square feet and there are four apartments per floor and three penthouses.
The building was built in 1925 and designed by Jacob M. Felson, the architect also of 515 and 697 West End Avenue, 975 Park Avenue, and 107, 114 and 144 West 86th Street.
