This large and handsome apartment house was erected in 1929 and converted to a cooperative in 1960.

The 15-story building, which has 86 apartments, has a three-story, rusticated limestone base and, in keeping with its name, a white-brick facade. The lower half of the first story is faced with granite and the building has some topiary landscaping along its Central Park West frontage. The building, which has protruding air-conditioners and a cornice, also has very attractive wrought-iron doors along the sidestreet, some ornamental balconies and an attractive lobby.

There is excellent cross-town bus service at the corner as well as a subway station.

The building, which has a concierge and doorman, overlooks the southern end of the Central Park reservoir and is close to the great lawn in the park. There are many attractive sidewalk cafes nearby on Columbus Avenue at 85th Street.
