941 Park Avenue is a distinctive pre-war apartment building with boldly designed features and large apartments. Located near cultural attractions and amenities, the 16-story building has 34 units and was converted to a cooperative in 1955.
941 Park Avenue is a 1927 pre-war co-op at the northeast corner of East 81st Street in Carnegie Hill, designed by Schwartz & Gross. The 14 story building has 35 apartments and a red brick façade set above a two story limestone base. Its arched entrance, rope quoins, scalloped bandcourse, oversized cornice, and octagonal rooftop pedestal give the building a particularly elaborate profile along Park Avenue.
Many residences have grand duplex plans with formal entertaining rooms on the lower level and bedrooms above. Large entrance galleries, libraries, formal dining rooms, staff wings, ceilings of about 10 feet, and wood burning fireplaces recur in the apartments, with south, east, and Park Avenue exposures represented. The most architecturally unusual residence is Penthouse 15/16A, a multilevel composition capped by an octagonal tower room and terraces.
The original apartment house became a co-op in 1955. The building has a full time doorman, resident manager, fitness center, children’s playroom, bicycle room, private storage, and a pet friendly policy. Television journalist Tom Brokaw has lived at the building.
Madison Avenue is one avenue west, with its galleries, shops, and restaurants extending through Carnegie Hill. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is on Fifth Avenue at 82nd Street, while Central Park begins along Fifth Avenue two avenue blocks west.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
