870 Fifth Avenue: CARTER'S REVIEW


One of several beige-brick apartment houses built shortly after World War II in the 60's on Fifth Avenue, this 21-story cooperative apartment house has 106 apartments and a prime location just to the south of The Frick Collection and to the north of the heavy traffic at major Central Park transverse roads. Built in 1949, the building has an entrance on the sidestreet and many corner windows. Although these windows are not curved, the bays in which they are located are and they give the building a pleasing soft edge. With an attractive watertank enclosure, this building is contextual with with its neighbors and its top is nicely terraced. Although this building is relatively modest by Fifth Avenue apartment palazzo standars, its fabulous views of Central Park and the midtown skyline, attractive sidestreet entrance, and very convenient location make it very desirable.
