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."
