This attractive, 13-story, yellow-brick apartment house overlooks The Frick Collection and is on one of the city's most impressive mansion blocks.
Because The Frick Collection occupies the full-block front on Fifth Avenue between 70th and 71st Streets, much of it with a large formal garden, many apartments in this building have excellent and impressive views of Central Park. The entrance to The Frick Collection is on 70th Street, but its famous library has an entrance on 71st Street.
This building has a two-story limestone base with a pink granite entrance surround. The base of the building has a curved ledge. The building permits protruding air-conditioners and has a doorman and basement storage, but no garage, no roof deck, no balconies and no health club.
It has a central Upper East Side location that is convenient to many of the city's best boutiques, art galleries, clubs and museums.
It was erected in 1948 and is a cooperative with 48 units.
There is good cross-town bus service on 72nd and 67th Streets and there is a subway station at 67th Street and Lexington Avenue. There are no nearby supermarkets.
