Carter Horsley's Review of 157 West 79th Street

Carter Horsley's Building Review
"One of the prettiest buildings on one of the city's greatest residential blocks, this handsome, Italian Renaissance-palazzo-style apartment building was erected in 1911 and converted to a cooperative in 1988.

This building has a canopied, step-up entrance flanked by lanterns, two-story-high limestone pilasters and a doorman. The building has nice wrought-iron balconies, some leaded windows, a two-story limestone base, limestone window reveals on the third floor and handsome entrance doors. It has no garage and no health club." Read Carter's Full Review
