About 825 Fifth Avenue
One of the most attractive residential buildings on Fifth Avenue, this 23-story tower was erected in 1926 and its red-tiled, hipped roof has since been a key element on the Central Park skyline.
It was designed by J. E. R. Carpenter, the foremost apartment building architect of his day whose other buildings on the avenue include numbers 810, 845, 907, 920, 950, 988, 1030, 1060, 1115, 1120, 1143, 1150, 1165 and 1170. The base of the building is very ornate and handsome and the tall roof is particularly striking because the red tiles are only on the east and west facades and are framed by small chimneys.
The building was erected as a cooperative with 77 apartments. With five apartments per floor, the building has smaller units than many other luxury apartment buildings of its era on the avenue.
The building's location is ideal and very close to midtown. About the only drawback to the building is the number of parades that pass by, but that goes with the Fifth Avenue terrritory. Needless to say, the building has great views.
