Description of 51 Fifth Avenue

51 Fifth Avenue is a 16-story, 89-unit cooperative built in 1929 and designed by Thomas Lamb, one of the foremost designers of cinemas and theaters in the 20th century. The building welcomes pets and is staffed by a full-time doorman and live-in superintendent. It also offers a well-appointed gym, but the building's greatest asset is its prime Greenwich Village address.

Carter Horsley's Review of 51 Fifth Avenue

Carter Horsley's Building Review
"This handsome, 16-story apartment building at 51 Fifth Avenue on the southeast corner at 11th Street in Greenwich Village was erected in 1929 and converted to a co-operative in 1988.  It has 89 apartments.

The building is across Fifth Avenue from two very attractive churches, the Ascension on the northwest corner at 10th Street and the First Presbyterian Church that occupies the west blockfront between 11th and 12th Streets.  It is also directly across the Avenue from 40 Fifth Avenue, the most attractive, pre-war apartment building in the Village."
