About 600 West End Avenue
This is one of the more attractive apartment buildings along this handsome boulevard.
It is distinguished by large, green, glazed terracotta shields along its roofline and very bold and unusual balconies that have limestone ends and wrought-iron railings.
The brown-brick building has a three-story limestone base and a very ornate top with a large limestone balcony.
It was erected in 1910 and converted to a cooperative in 1978.
The 13-story building has 68 apartments and a step-up entrance. The building permits protruding air-conditioners and has inconsistent fenestration.
It is one block to the east from Riverside Park and one block to the west of convenient neighborhood shopping on Broadway. It is also very convenient to excellent crosstown bus service on 86th Street and not far from a local subway station at 86th Street and Broadway. This area has undergone significant upgrading in the 1980's and 1990's and is now one of the most desirable on the Upper West Side.
