Carter’s Review

"One of the city's grandest apartment buildings, the 12-story limestone palazzo at 820 Fifth Avenue on the northeast corner at 63rd Street has only one apartment per floor. 

Designed by Starrett & Van Vleck for Fred T. Ley and Company and erected in 1916, this magnificent and finely detailed building is one of the stateliest, and most expensive, apartment buildings on Fifth Avenue. "
