It is distinguished by its very pleasant roofline whose open, light and tall arches convey a bucolic sense of trellises and Palladian formality.

The handsome, reddish brown-brick, 17-story apartment house was built in 1926 and converted to a cooperative in 1945. It has 60 units.

The building has a two-story limestone base with a doorman and a concierge and attractive decorative window grills on the second floor above the canopied entrance. There is an attractive rear garden.

The building permits protruding air-conditioners and has sidewalk landscaping, but inconsistent windows.

With its central Upper East Side location, the building is very convenient to many restaurants and good neighborhood shopping and there is good cross-town bus service, although the nearest subway station is several blocks away. The building is not too far from Sotheby’s, the auction house, at York Avenue.
