West Pierre Review
This attractive, mid-block, beige-brick 22-story, pre-war apartment building has 259 rental apartments.
It was built in 1928 and designed by Schwartz & Gross, who designed many apartment buildings in the city and especially on the Upper West Side. The building has a two-story stone base and some terraces.
It has low-rise buildings on either side and most buildings on this block between West End Avenue and Broadway, including this one, have almost all their first-floor space occupied by retail uses.
This is a central Upper West Side location that is convenient to the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts a few blocks to the south and there is an express subway station is at 72nd Street and Broadway.
The building has a canopied entrance with a concierge, laundry facilities, protruding air-conditioners and some nice façade decoration. It is pet friendly and close to Riverside Park and there is excellent local shopping.
On January 3, 1973, Roseann Quinn, a special-ed teacher was stabbed more than a dozen times in her studio apartment in the building by John Wayne Wilson who had picked her up at W. T. Tweed's, a nearby bar. Six months later, Wilson committed suicide. The crime was depicted in the book and novel "Looking for Mr. Goodbar."
