The building is just to the west of the low-rise Carlyle Galleries building that occupies the avenue frontage between 76th and 77th Streets.

It has a wrought-iron marquee with two upside-down small lanterns above the handsome wooden doors and a four-step-up entrance. It permits protruding air-conditioners and has no health club, no balconies and no roof deck. Its lower four floors are clad in limestone and the top two floors are faced with beige brick.

It is across the street from The Mark, one of the nicest hotels on the Upper East Side that has Issey Miyake, the great fashion designer, as one of its retail tenants. The Carlyle Hotel is just across Madison Avenue.

This is an excellent Upper East Side location that has good public transportation and is very convenient to numerous museums and art galleries as well as the fashionable boutiques of Madison Avenue. Central Park is very close as is Lenox Hill Hospital.
