535 West 110th Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 535 West 110th Street by Carter Horsley

This handsome, mid-block, pre-war, cooperative apartment building at 535 West 110th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue has about 140 units and is very close to a subway station and Riverside Park. 

It is 14 stories tall and was erected in 1926. 

It is on a very attractive block that is convenient to Columbia University and the Cathedral Church of St. John The Divine.

Bottom Line

Flanked by two very attractive buildings, this large pre-war building is one of the nicest on Cathedral Parkway.

The beige-brick building has a one-story limestone base, a bandcourse above the first and third floors, some balconies and a cornice. 

It has some protruding air-conditioners.
