Carter’s Review

"This impressive late 19th Century apartment house at 55 East 76th Street was developed by Frederick Aldhous and designed by Frederick T. Camp.

In his April 11, 2004 "Streetscapes" column in The New York Times, Christopher Gray wrote that the Real Estate Chronicle wrote in 1883 that its tenants "should be able to sleep profoundly" because of additional fireproofing, three exit stairways and extra safety devices on the hydraulic, open-cage elevator in case of failure."

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
