Carter’s Review

"This attractive, 16-story, apartment building is fairly typical in its massing and detailing for its generation but it sports a rather jazzy entrance with a stainless steel marquee that is tilted upwards a bit and support by two angled thin columns.

The building has a slightly ramped, canopied entrance with revolving doors as well as a ramped entrance for the disabled. It has nice sidewalk landscaping, a garage, a pleasant lobby with very handsome elevator doors, some terraces, a doorman and protruding air-conditioners. It has no health club and no roof deck."
