The 16-story building has good terracotta façade decoration and a very impressive entrance doors, sidewalk landscaping and a nice lobby. It is adjacent to one of the city’s most impressive apartment buildings at 322 East 57th Street, which is noted for its very high ceilings, but it is also directly across the street from a mid-block entrance to the Queensborough Bridge. The building has a doorman and permits protruding air-conditioners and has no garage and no health club.

While there is considerable traffic in this neighborhood, it is also very convenient to the midtown office district, shopping and transportation. There is very good cross-town bus service and an express subway station is nearby at 59th Street and Lexington Avenue.
