Carter's Review

This handsome, 15-story, cooperative apartment building was erected in 1927. It has 65 units.

The yellow-brick building has a canopied entrance, a doorman, a one-story limestone base, attractive rope quoins on the second and third floors, a handsome, scalloped cornice, nice decorative balconies, sidewalk landscaping, protruding air-conditioners and arched windows on the second floor from the top.

It is across the sidestreet from the low-rise Greek Orthodox Church of America, which provides it with considerable "light and air."

The building has no health club, no roof deck and no garage.

One of the city's best private schools, Trinity School, is a few blocks to the east on 91st Street and there are many restaurants and stores nearby on Broadway. This lively neighborhood is one of the city's finest architecturally. There is good bus service on Riverside Drive and Broadway and the nearest cross-town bus service and subway stations are not too far away at 86th and 96th Streets.
