This very handsome, beige-brick rental apartment building has one of the city’s most attractive balconies on its fifth floor supported by 10 lions’ heads.

The building has a one-story limestone base and its canopied entrance is flanked by sculptures of rams’ heads and topped by a nice frieze of putti. It has very fine wrought-iron entrance doors. Rope quoins brace the building for eight stories above the entrance.

The building permits protruding air-conditioners, but has no garage, no health club and no sidewalk landscaping. It has inconsistent fenestration.

It is on a very pleasant block, a short walk from Central Park and a subway station. There is excellent cross-town bus service on this street and many attractive sidewalk caf´s on Columbus Avenue just to the south.
