Carter’s Review

"This modest 16-story, midblock condominium apartment building at 143 East 34th Street has a convenient Murray Hill location on one of midtown's major cross-streets.

The building has a polished orange granite entrance surround and discrete air-conditioners, but no sidewalk landscaping and no garage."
