Carter's Review

This handsome, 11-story, mid-block apartment building was erected in 1904 and is a cooperative with 40 units.

The red-brick building has a very robust façade that is distinguished by very broad arched windows on the seventh floor with stained glass. The building has a tall, spiked, wrought-iron fence with tall stanchions and a limestone entrance surround with garlands. It has a four-step-up entrance, but no canopy. It permits protruding air-conditioners and has no garage, no health club, no doorman and no sidewalk landscaping.

The building was expanded on its eastern side with similar colored bricks but not architectural detailing. Many of its apartments have high-ceilings and it is on a a pretty, tree-lined street.

This is an excellent Upper East Side location that has good public transportation and is very convenient to numerous museums and art galleries as well as the fashionable boutiques of Madison Avenue. Central Park is very close as is Lenox Hill Hospital.
