Carter’s Review

"This attractive, mid-block, red-brick apartment building at 120 East 36th Street is across from the entrance to The Morgan Library, one of the city's major cultural institutions and a major landmark in the Murray Hill neighborhood.

This 13-story building has 97 cooperative apartments. The building has a one-story white marble entrance surround, sidewalk landscaping, a roof deck, part-time doorman, and a live-in superintendent. It permits pets and has discrete air-conditioners, a few terraces and no balconies."
