Gatsby House,
155 West 71st Street

This 6-story, mid-block apartment building at 155 East 71st Street was erected in 1940 and has 55 condominium apartments. It is called The Gatsby House, but its fire escapes do not recall the legendary architectural splendors of the type of house that F. Scott Fitzgerald's romantic hero of the North Shore of Long Island might have made one of his abodes.
