This attractive apartment building was erected in 1924 and converted to a cooperative in 1957. It contains only two apartments per floor and has a two-story, rusticated limestone base with sidewalk landscaping.
The 14-story building was designed by Schwartz & Gross, whose other buildings on the avenue include 470, 525, 885, 888, 911, 930, 941, 970, 983, 1045, 1070, 1095, 1125 and 1165.
The building’s entrance on the avenue has attractive bronze doors and the top of the building, which has protruding air-conditioners, has excellent decoration.
The building is not far from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and many boutiques and art galleries along Madison. Cross-town buses run on 79th Street and one of the city’s best schools, PS 6, is nearby in this very desirable neighborhood.
The building has no garage and no health club and protruding air-conditioners.
