This attractive apartment building was erected in 1924 and converted to a cooperative in 1957. It contains only two apartments per floor and has a two-story, rusticated limestone base with sidewalk landscaping on the attractive sidestreet. The 14-story building was designed by Schwartz & Gross, whose other buildings on the avenue include 470, 525, 885, 888, 911, 930, 941, 970, 983, 1045, 1070, 1095, 1125 and 1165. The building s entrance on the avenue has attractive bronze doors and the top of the building, which has protruding air-conditioners, has excellent decoration. The building is not far from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and many boutiques and art galleries along Madison. Cross-town buses run on 79th Street and one of the city's best schools, PS 6, is nearby in this very desirable neighborhood.
