About Henderson House, 535 East 86th Street
This large yellow-brick apartment building was erected as a co-op in 1961.
The 20-story building, whose height is accented by limestone piers, has 133 apartments, many of which enjoy excellent views of Carl Schurz Park to the east as the building is across Henderson Place, one of the city's few mid-block mini-streets, from a row of attractive townhouses at the northeast corner of East End Avenue and 86th Street.
The building has a handsome lobby with a glass wall that faces the charming townhouse row and the building has sidewalk landscaping. It has a canopied entrance, a doorman, some balconies and terraces and consistent fenestration.
This quiet block is one of the most pleasant in this neighborhood, which is very desirable for families because of the proximity of the nice park and excellent private schools. There is excellent crosstown bus service at York Avenue at the other end of this block.
