410 East 57th Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 410 East 57th Street by Carter Horsley

This handsome, red-brick, 16-story apartment building at 410 East 57^th Street between Sutton Place and First Avenue was erected in 1929 and has 64 co-operative units.

It was designed by Schwartz & Gross.

It was converted from a rental in 1961.

Bottom Line

A very attractive, pre-war building designed by Schwartz & Gross with many large apartments very close to Sutton Place.

Description

The red-brick building has a one-story limestone base with sidewalk landscaping flanking a columned entrance surround with a canopy.  There is a broad bandcourse above the third floor that is supported by two-story-high stone columns.  The four center windows on the second floor above the entrance have semi-circular stone tops. 

There is a thinner bandcourse above the fourth floor with center balustrades and another thin bandcourse above the 12^th.  There is a good-sized cornice above the 13^th and a large glass solarium in the middle of the 16^th floor.

The sides of the building has stone window surrounds between the 2^nd and 3^rd and the 13^th through the 15^th floors.

Amenities

This building has a full-time doorman, an elevator person, a gym, a garden, and storage.  Pets are allowed.
