The 10-story building was erected in 1928 and designed by Gronenberg and Leuchtag.

This attractive, pre-war, rental building has a handsome entrance and a good Murray Hill location.

The building, which is also known as 525-531 Third Avenue, has a canopied, three-step-up entrance on the side-street. The entrance is arched and adjacent to a similar arched façade element just to its east that contains a window and planting.

There are corner setbacks on the ninth floor and the building has quoins at its corners and arched window surrounds and decorative balconies on the eighth and night floors.
There is a scalloped bandcourse above the first floor and at the cornice lines.
The original brochure for the building from Weld & Butt, managing agents, indicated that “the roof bungalows, in addition to extra large rooms, are provided with wood burning fireplaces, adding that cheer which only an open fireplace can give,” adding that “each bungalow has its private terrace.”
There is a small north courtyard and a small east courtyard.
