Carter's Review
This very handsome, Italian-Renaissance-palazzo style building was erected in 1915 and converted to a cooperative apartment building in 1983. The 15-story building has 65 apartments.
With a two-story rusticated limestone base, arched windows on the third floor, two major bandcourses and many minor ones and a large attractive cornice, this building would be at home with the pre-war luxury apartment buildings on Upper Fifth Avenue. The building is distinguished by the handsome fenestration that is inset, giving the building's façades a marvelous sense of strength and formality. This building is one of the scores of excellent commercial buildings that were erected up Broadway but which fell into serious decay and neglect after World War I as many commercial establishments began to migrate to midtown and these wonderful buildings were taken over as commercial lofts. Fortunately, many of these buildings have survived.
This building is convenient to the City Hall district and is also close to SoHo, TriBeCa and Chinatown and all of the many attractions in those very lively districts. This area of Broadway still has a mix of units that includes many older commercial uses, but the architectural merits of such buildings will inevitably lead to their renaissance.
This building has no doorman, no sidewalk landscaping, no garage, no health club and no balconies, but high ceilings and quality.
