988 Fifth Avenue: CARTER'S REVIEW


This 14-story structure is one of the most elegant and exclusive buildings on the avenue because of its very fine detailing and that the fact that it has only 12 apartments.

Exquisitely designed in Italian-Renaissance-palazzo-style by J. E. R. Carpenter, this building has a sidestreet entrance and attractive landscaping. It was built in 1925 and converted to a condominium in 1981.

To the south it adjoins 985 Fifth Avenue, which is setback in a plaza, and it is directly across 80th Street from 990 Fifth Avenue, a very handsome Italian-Renaissance-palazzo-style apartment building that was built in 1927 and designed by Rosario Candela, Carpenter’s successor of the preeminent designer of luxury apartments of the prewar era on the Upper East Side.

Right in the middle of Fifth Avenue’s "Museum Mile," 988 Fifth Avenue fortunately does not have its Central Park vistas largely obscured by the nearby Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is also only a block away from cross-town bus service and is convenient to a grocery storie on Madison Avenue.
