1016 Fifth Avenue: CARTER'S REVIEW


This 15-story apartment house clad in limestone and pale beige brick above a four-story, rusticated limestone base has very attractive ornamentation and is one of the better looking major buildings on the avenue.

Its sidestreet facade is particularly handsome and well designed with a very impressive entrance and sidewalk landscaping.

The building has 56 large apartments and was completed in 1926. It was designed by John B. Peterkin, who was best known for his very fine Art Deco-style Airlines Terminal Building of 1940 on the southwest corner of Park Avenue and 42nd Street that was subsequently replaced by the headquarters building of Philip Morris.

This building, which has three arched windows on the third floor facing the avenue, has a prime and relatively quiet location along the avenue’s "Museum Mile" across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Surprisingly, the building’s rooftop watertank is not enclosed.
