Carter's Review

This pleasant, Italian Renaissance-palazzo-style building was erected in 1924 and converted to a cooperative in 1979.

It has 103 apartments and was designed by Rosario Candela.

It has a nice copper cornice and a two-story, rusticated limestone base and the two top floors have attractive terracotta rustication and balustraded balconies on the next to the top floor.

The 15-story building has a canopied entrance with the letters "R" and "C" incised above it. Nice lanterns flank the entrance.

The building has a doorman but no sidewalk landscaping. The building's façade has protruding air-conditioners and consistent fenestration. It has a large storage facility, a fitness center, a bicycle room, a children's playroom, and a community room.

There are two to five apartments per floor. The two in the front of the building have six-and-a-half and seven-and-a-half rooms while those in the back have three-and-a-half to six-and-a-half rooms. Apartments with at least six-and-a-half rooms include maid's rooms.

When it was erected, it was advertised as "the house of 1,500 windows," according to a resident.

This is a quiet stretch of West End Avenue that is convenient to public transportation and one block from Riverside Park.

Neighborhood shopping is convenient and steadily improving as high-end retailers continue to advance up Broadway.
