Simply put, 240 Central Park South is an early modernist icon finished at the tail-end of the Great Depression and the onset of World War II.
The structure was built in 1941 and sits near Columbus Circle at the intersection of Broadway and West 59th Street. The 28-story rental building has 325 apartments and its facade is composed of muted orange brick, a distinguishing feature that sets it apart from neighboring high-rises and skyscrapers.

Each has unique perks, with features like wood burning fireplaces, Central Park views, in-unit laundry, and private terraces. Other highlights include hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, and open kitchens with breakfast bars.

A review from critic Carter Horsley notes its designers, Mayer and Whittlesey, also designed the rental building at 40 Central Park South. It has a similarly designed roof and was erected in the same year. In 1954, the team worked with M. Milton Glass on a building at 220 Central Park which was demolished to make way for the new supertall tower at the same address.
