Carter's Review

This handsome, 13-story, pre-war, white-brick, cooperative apartment building has 101 units.

The building, which has fine views of Riverside Park and the Hudson River, has a 3 1/2-story rusticated limestone base and arched windows on its top floor.

It has a doorman, a three-step-entrance, a four-step-up vestibule and a sign that states "no roller-blading." It has no sidewalk landscaping, protruding air-conditioners and inconsistent fenestration, no health club, no garage, no balconies and no roof deck.

It is located on one of the nicest architectural stretches of Riverside Drive and the Columbia University/Morningside Heights neighborhood is lively with good retail. There are many important institutional and religious properties in the vicinity.

There is good bus service on Riverside Drive and Broadway and a subway station on Broadway at 116th Street.
