Carter Horsley's Building Review Carter Horsley
Dec 23, 2011
72 CITYREALTY RATING

Carter's Review

This very handsome, 14-story building was erected in 1916 and converted to a cooperative in 1958. It has 35 apartments.

The building has a limestone façade that is distinguished by large quoins. The northwest comer of the building on the avenue is a bit unusual because it has double quoins.

The doorman building has a canopied entrance and a frieze across the top of its roofline. It permits protruding air-conditioners and one of its retail tenants, William Graham Arader III, has a "baby" canopy adjacent to the entrance on 72nd Street. The building has inconsistent fenestration, no balconies and no sidewalk landscaping.

It is close to a major entrance to Central Park and not far from several major museums and art galleries. Cross-town bus service is convenient as are many boutiques and restaurants in this prime area, which is not, however, not close to a subway station.
