118 West 72nd Street: CARTER'S REVIEW


This narrow but very handsome building is one of several white terra-cotta buildings that were developed by Edward West Browning. The 13-story building was erected as the Earlton Studios in 1915 and was designed by Buchman & Fox. It was converted to a cooperative in 1985. It has only 48 apartments.

Mr. Browning would become fairly notorious for his adoption of 15-year-old Frances ("Peaches") Heenan, which led to embarassing court trials.

This block between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues and the one to the west are unusual for both the Upper West Side and the Upper East Side as they still retain many low-rise buildings with neighborhood retail stores.

The base of this building sadly was renovated in a style not compatible with its very attractive and detailed glazed terra-cotta facing above.

The building permits protruding air-conditioners and has no health club and no garage.

It has an excellent and lively central Upper West Side location and is close to Central Park and a subway station on Central Park West and an express subway station on Broadway. It is also close to many restaurants and boutiques on Columbus Avenue and not far from the Lincoln Center District a few blocks to the south.
