Carter's Review

This handsome, mid-block, 6-story, Neo-Georgian-style building at 320 East 82nd Street between Second and First avenues was erected in 1900 and designed by Janes & Leo for the Emanu-El Sisterhood of Personal Service.

From 1931 to 1960 it served as a girls’ dormitory and community house for the Lutheran Women’s Missionary Society of Augusta Synod.

It was then used as a 61-bedroom residence for Lenox Hill Hospital nurses and it was acquired in 1964 by Inwood House that was formerly known as the Magdalen Benevolent Society that was founded in 1830.  The society housed “fallen women” driven to prostitution but later it switched its emphasis to pregnant teenagers.

Janes & Leo were the architects of the glorious Dorilton apartment building on the northeast corner of Broadway and 71st Street and 3 East 85th Street that was erected for Solomon Loeb, a founder of Kuhn, Loeb.

Vincent Benic Architects LLC designed a renovation of the building in 2006. In 2015, it was further renovated for the 30 girls who lived there and was then sold by Inwood House to Mermelstein Holdings for $16 million and then sold to Mitchell Holdings for $23.2 million. 

Jeffrey Cole Architects designed the most recent renovation that converted the building into 6 luxury residential condominium apartments.

The building is known as the Park Madison.

Bottom Line

This handsome, Neo-Georgian, mid-block building on the Upper East Side has one of the nicest façades and entrances in the city and only 6 large apartments.

Description

The building has a four-step bowed stair flanked by tall red-brick columns topped with globes and tall cast-iron fences.  The impressive entrance surround has columns on either side of a lunette transom and beneath a large broken pediment.

Amenities

The building has a full-time doorman, a gym, bicycle room, storage, and a locked elevator.

Apartments

The maisonette is a three-bedroom unit with an 800-square-foot garden. It has a 32-foot-long family room, an Arclinea kitchen with Miele appliances, a 5-burner gas cooktop and a wine cooler.

The fourth floor apartment is a four-bedroom unit with an entry foyer that leads to a wide gallery and there is a balcony off two of the bedrooms.
