Capitol Hall,
168 West 87th Street

Overview of Capitol Hall at 168 West 87th Street

Capitol Hall is a handsome, brown-brick, pre-war building located in New York City. This 9-story structure houses 238 rental apartments and is noted for its architectural features, including a balustrated roofline and consistent fenestration. The building's second and third floors feature arched window openings, adding to its aesthetic appeal. Residents and visitors are greeted by a white marble lobby with a concierge stationed behind a window in the vestibule.

The building benefits from its location across the street from a landscaped plaza, providing considerable 'light-and-air'. It is conveniently situated with excellent cross-town bus service on 86th Street and a nearby subway station at Broadway and 86th Street, making it an accessible choice for city dwellers.

Capitol Hall's entrance is marked by a two-story limestone surround, with additional similar surrounds at the base, including one for the service entrance. While the building's review and listing descriptions do not mention specific amenities or notable residents, its architectural charm and strategic location make it a desirable residence in the city.
