Carter’s Review

"This very handsome building was erected in 1923 and converted to a cooperative in 1973.

The building has nice terra cotta decoration around its arched, two-story-high entrance. The building, which has gargoyles, has nice bronze entrance doors beneath and a doorman and a canopy, but no cornice and no landscaping."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "classic" Upper West Side co-op offers "historic architectural charm" complemented by a "beautifully restored lobby." While "light on amenities," residents praise the "attentive" doormen and "reliable" live-in super who maintain this "well-preserved" pre-war gem.
