Description of The Gainsborough at 222 Central Park South
The 16-story, 39-unit Gainsborough, which was designed by architect Charles Buckham and completed in 1908, was originally built for artists and their studios. Shortly after construction, the building was converted into a co-operative for its tenants. The unique frontage, which has recently undergone a major restoration, features a bust of the 18th-century painter, Thomas Gainsborough, after whom the building was named and dedicated. There is also a unique frieze by Isadore Konti entitled 'a Festival Procession of the Arts.' The upper façade has beautiful Edwardian tiles in bright colors made from 18th-Century pottery. The building's renowned northern light has attracted artists including the Surrealist painter, Enrico Donati.
The cooperative permits up to 50% financing and pieds-a-terre. Pets and a washer/dryer allowed with board approval. The building has a 3% flip tax.
