The streetscape here is excellent with views of Trump Place to the east and the great Art Deco tower of the New York Hospital skyscraper to the west. This building is just to the east of the very handsome modern apartment building at 333 East 69th Street and the south side of the street has many tower houses on either side of the yellow minaret of the First Hungarian Reform Church of New York, which was erected in 1915.

This building has a one-story black polished granite base with a canopied entrance, a large, windowed lobby, a doorman, many corner windows, some bay windows at the top, and protruding air-conditioners, basement storage, a roof deck and no balconies, no sidewalk landscaping and no garage.

While it is close to Sotheby’s, the auction house, and New York Hospital, both to the east, it is not close to a subway. There is a good bus cross-town bus service on 72nd Street.
