310 East 55th Street: Review and Ratings
between Second Avenue & First Avenue View Full Building Profile
This handsome, 13-story, mid-block, Art Deco-style, cooperative apartment building has 83 units.
The orange-brick, pre-war structure has a very impressive Art Deco-entrance and lobby with a mezzanine and a ceiling mural and period furniture.
The building is just to the east of the East 55th Street Conservative Synagogue on a quiet street and across from the one-story Bristol Medical Building that provides considerable "light and air" to this building.
The building has a canopied entrance, a doorman, and has very attractive frosted Art Deco-style windows flanking its entrance that has two-and-a-half-story Art Deco pilasters. The building has some corner windows, inconsistent fenestration, no sidewalk landscaping and permits protruding air-conditioners.
This is a lively midtown neighborhood with numerous restaurants and stores serving the Sutton Place community. There is excellent cross-town bus service on 57th Street and considerable traffic on the avenues because of the Manhattan entrance to the Queensborough Bridge four blocks to the north.
6sqft delivers the latest on real estate, architecture, and design, straight from New York City.
