Carter’s Review

"This impressive and important 28-story, orange-brick building was erected in 1941 and has 321 rental apartments.

According to Robert A. M. Stern, Thomas Mellins and David Fishman, in their superb book, "New York 1960 Architecture and Urbanism Between The Second World War And The Bicentennial," (The Monacelli Press, 1995), this building was "the first Manhattan apartment house to make extensive use of balconies.""
