Carter Horsley's Review of Kensington House

"This boxy, but attractive, 15-story Art Deco building at 200 West 20th and Seventh Avenue has a prime location in the heart of the Chelsea District.

Built in 1938 and designed by Emery Roth, the building, known as Kensington House, was converted to a cooperative in 1987 and has 196 apartments. Amenities and staff include 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry room, package room, and roof deck with Empire State Building views. Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, transportation, and Chelsea's best galleries, restaurants, and nightlife are a short walk away." Read Carter's Full Review

Very fine octagonal entrance marquee

Pre-war construction
Close to Flatiron District and many fashionable restaurants
Three short blocks from subway station and cross-town buses
Some corner windows
Sunken living rooms

Cons

No balconies
Missing its cornice
Missing original water tank enclosure
No health club
No garage
Considerable traffic on Seventh Avenue
