Carter's Review
This attractive, red-brick apartment house at the west end of Greenwich Avenue is in a convenient area of the Far West Village, a short walk from an express subway station and crosstown buses at 14th Street less than blocks to the north. Erected in 1963, its 127 apartments were converted to cooperatives in 1986. The 17-story building, which has a nice sundeck, is also very close to Chelsea with its many restaurants and new art galleries to the north and is just to the east of the interesting meat-packing district. This far west area of Greenwich Village has long attracted many writers and artists, which is probably the derivation of the building's name since the building's fairly straight-forward architecture does not immediate recall the chiaroscuro effects of its namesake artist. The famed White Horse Bar where Dylan Thomas imbibed is not far away on Hudson Street, which turns into Eighth Avenue just to the north. Many of the most charming blocks in the Village are in the immediate vicinity and the Hudson River is just two blocks to the west.
