Carter Horsley's Building Review Carter Horsley
Dec 23, 2011

Carter's Review

This very handsome, Art Deco-style building is a rare example of the use of bold color in New York residential real estate.

The brown-brick rental apartment building has a very colorful façade with terracotta ornament and angled brick spandrels. The building has multipaned windows, but does not have a doorman and has an exposed rooftop watertank.

It is on a very pleasant block, a short walk from Central Park and a subway station. There is excellent cross-town bus service on this street and many attractive sidewalk caf¿s on Columbus Avenue just to the south.
