66 East 79th Street: CARTER'S REVIEW


This elegant, mid-block, brown-brick, 15-story apartment house was built in 1926 and converted to a cooperative in 1986. Like the several other pre-war buildings on this very attractive block, this building has large apartments and few of them.

It has a three-story limestone base and has sidewalk landscaping. There are lovely wrought-iron window grills on the second floor and a nicely detailed stringcourse two floors from the top of the building which has an crisscross railing roofline.

The 16-unit building has a canopied entrance and consistent fenestration and permits protruding air-conditioners.

The building’s location on a very attractive block is convenient to the Metropolitan Museum to the north and the Whitney Museum of American Art to the south. There are many boutiques and restaurants nearby. There is good cross-town bus service, but also considerable traffic at this location, and the nearest subway station is not too far away at 77th Street and Lexington Avenue near Lenox Hill Hospital.
