Located on one of the city s great, tree-lined residential streets, this mid-block, gray-brick apartment building at 17 West 67th Street was erected in 1931 and designed by Gronenberg & Leuchtag whose other buildings include 467 Central Park West, 50, 110 and 118 Riverside Drive, 1230 and 1235 Park Avenue, 179 East 79th Street, 124 West 79th Street, 25 West 81st Street and 639 West End Avenue.

The building, which has 77 cooperative apartments, has a doorman, a canopied entrance, quoins, some terraces, scalloped cornices, inconsistent fenestration and protruding air-conditioners.

It is distinguished by protruding masonry window surrounds on the first floor.

It is one of the few apartment buildings on the block that does not have double-height "studio" apartments such as can be found at its famous neighbor, the Hotel des Artistes.

The 13-story building is very close to Central Park and to the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
