Overview of The Gallery House at 77 West 55th Street

Gallery House is a well-appointed 20-story cooperative located at 77 West 55th Street, completed in 1962. Designed by Horace Ginsbern & Associates, the building comprises 186 units and features a variety of amenities that enhance the living experience for residents.

The building offers a 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a live-in superintendent, and convenient laundry facilities equipped with new machines. Residents can enjoy a beautifully landscaped roof deck, which provides breathtaking views of the skyline and Central Park. Additional amenities include storage options and a pet-friendly policy that accommodates pets up to 50 pounds.

Gallery House is situated in a prime location just south of Central Park, providing easy access to world-class dining, shopping along Fifth Avenue, and cultural landmarks such as Carnegie Hall and the Museum of Modern Art. The building’s proximity to the Theater District and various transportation options—including the N, Q, R, W, A, C, B, D, and 1 subway lines—makes it an ideal choice for both full-time residents and those seeking a pied-à-terre in New York City.

Notably, the building has housed famous residents, including Paul Desmond, the acclaimed alto saxophonist known for his work with the Dave Brubeck Quartet. With its combination of modern amenities and a vibrant location, Gallery House remains a desirable address in Manhattan.

A full service building with a great roofdeck.

Fairly easy board

When people think of Midtown, most probably conjure images of Times Square?s bright lights, soaring buildings, famous venues, taxi-clogged streets and world-class hotels. But this section of Manhattan isn?t nearly that one-dimensional. Midtown covers a vast stretch of land, roughly from 14th to 59th Streets, between the Hudson and East Rivers. As anyone who has wandered these blocks knows, that covers a lot of personality.
Most neighborhoods are well serviced by subway and bus lines and, if they?re not, they?re usually traversed by a stream of yellow cabs. Central Park and Uptown museums are just as accessible as Battery Park and Soho Shopping. But when you think about it, who really needs Uptown or Downtown, when all you could ever want is thriving within this wonderful stretch of real estate?
Post-war condominium, very low common charges and real estate taxes, modern style, renovated lobby, beautiful roof deck, large apartments, easy sublet policy, investor-friendly, full time doormen, superb location, excellent super, renovated laundry room



Superb Midtown West, steps from Carnegie Hall, theater, City Center, MOMA, Fifth Avenue, Alvin Ailey, TimeWarner, Lincoln Center, outstanding restaurants, major hotels, NQR trains, E-F-V trains, 57th St buses, superb shops, Central Park
