Carter's Review

This 7-story building, which has a rounded corner and a sidestreet entrance, was erected in 1901 and converted to a cooperative in 1990. It has 43 apartments.

The building has a two-story, rusticated limestone base, has a marble lobby and is surrounded by a wrought-iron fence. Its top floor has arched and angled windows. The building permits protruding air-conditioners and has consistent fenestration.

This is a very attractive and quiet stretch of West End Avenue and this building is across the avenue from the very handsome building at 838. It 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.
