The Merrion is a distinguished 12 story pre-war condominium built in 1915 by renowned architect George Pelham and converted in 2008 by Kinlin Rutherfurd Architects. Located at 215 West 88th Street on the northeast corner of Broadway, this light-beige brick building features elegant architectural details including a three story limestone base, rusticated masonry quoins, and balustraded stringcourses. The conversion created 98 apartments while preserving the building's classic pre-war character, including high ceilings, original moldings, and timeless proportions.
Apartments at The Merrion typically feature 9.5 to 10 foot ceilings (many with original beamed details), solid oak hardwood floors, and large windows that provide excellent natural light from multiple exposures.
