Carter's Review

This large, 19-story, white-brick building was erected in 1964 and converted to a cooperative in 1982. It has 227 apartments.

The building has an attractive lobby with a glass wall along 86th Street with a small strip of landscaping in front of it. The step-up lobby is at the eastern end of the building whose long base on 86th Street is blank because its avenue frontage is occupied by a large supermarket. Part of the blank cross-street base is decorated with green and white bricks, but not the entire length.

The building has a doorman, a garage, some terraces and a canopied entrance. It permits protruding air-conditioners. The center of the cross-street façade is setback above the first floor, which has a small stainless steel overhang.

There is convenient neighborhood shopping and restaurants as well as excellent crosstown bus service. Carl Schurz Park is two long blocks away to the east.
