Carter's Review

This handsome, 16-story, apartment building on the northeast corner of Ninth Avenue at 365 West 20th Street is known as Chelsea Court Tower. It was built in 1928 and was designed by C. P. H. Gilbert, who built many major Manhattan mansions including the Jewish Museum on Fifth Avenue and 92nd Street, the Convent of the Sacred Heart School on Fifth Avenue and 91st Street, Cartier’s on Fifth Avenue and 52nd Street, and the Polish Consulate General on Madison Avenue at 37th Street. This building has 74 co-operative apartments. Amenities include a part-time doorman (4 p.m.-midnight), live-in superintendent, shared landscaped roof deck, central laundry room, on-site storage and bicycle room. The building is conveniently located close to the High Line, Chelsea Market, top restaurants and several forms of transportation. Pied-a-terre, gifting and co-purchasing permitted on a case-by-case basis.

Bottom Line

Across Ninth Avenue from the General Theological Seminary and on a very attractive, tree-lined side-street in Chelsea, this very handsome building is one of the better, pre-war apartment buildings in Chelsea.
