It was built in 1931 and converted to a cooperative in 1986. It has 107 apartments and is one block from an express subway station on Seventh Avenue and two blocks from cross-town buses on 14th Street.Its midblock location on one of the most attractive streets in the Lower Fifth Avenue area affords it great views of downtown from its upper floors facing south.
