This pleasant, white-brick, 19-story building has 234 rental apartments and is named after the great early 19th Century American author as is the adjacent high school on the block.

The building is on an attractive street and has a concierge, a canopied entrance with a black granite surround, protruding air-conditioners, consistent fenestration, spiked sidewalk landscaping, a roof deck and a garage. It has some terraces, but no balconies and no health club.

It is not far from Union Square, Stuyvesant and Gramercy parks and the Flatiron district and there are many nearby restaurants.

There is good cross-town bus service on 14th Street;
