West End Avenue in this part of the neighborhood is made up of fabulous brownstones and brilliant old apartment buildings with marble foyers. Many of them are pre-war and are generally co-op apartments. At one time some of these buildings were mansions lived in by one family, or large apartments with servants quarters. Some units still adorn the floor bell that would be located under the dining room table so that the host could ring the servants to bring in the next course. Local residents have lived in this neighborhood for most of their lives and don’t have any intentions on leaving it.
