Description of Brisbane House at 1215 Fifth Avenue

The Brisbane House is named in honor of its eponymous financier, Arthur Brisbane, who was one the most widely-read journalists of the 1930s within William Randolph Heart's empire, and the occupant of a remarkable penthouse covering the entire top three floors of the impressive structure. It was built in 1926 and designed by Schultze & Weaver, designers of the Pierre, Sherry Netherland Hotel, and the Waldorf Astoria.

Carter Horsley's Review of Brisbane House

"This 15-story apartment building was erected in 1929 by Arthur Brisbane, an editor with the Hearst organization who had earlier developed the Ritz Tower on the northeast corner of Park Avenue and 57th Street, designed by Emery Roth and an important early midtown skyscraper.

For this building, Brisbane commissioned Schultze & Weaver, the architectural firm that designed the Sherry Netherland Hotel and the Pierre Hotel lower down on Fifth Avenue." Read Carter's Full Review
