In 1896, the five-story headquarters of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals opened at 50 Madison Avenue, designed by Renwick, Aspinwall & Owen. In 2005, the building was remodeled into an 11-story luxury condominium building, preserving the lower three floors and adding eight new floors clad in limestone-colored precast panels. Currently, 1 apartment is for sale.
50 Madison Avenue began as the 1896 headquarters of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, overlooking Madison Square Park from the northwest corner of 26th Street. The original limestone structure was designed by Renwick, Aspinwall & Owen, whose work was praised for its finely carved detailing and elaborate cornice.
The building was converted to a condominium in 2005 by Samson Management, with Platt Byard Dovell White preserving the lower historic floors and adding eight limestone colored floors above them. It is now an 11 story condominium with nine residences, including a duplex penthouse, in the Flatiron and Union Square area.
Residences are organized primarily as full floor homes, with multiple apartments configured as three bedroom, three and a half bath layouts. Park facing homes have expansive southern exposures, floor to ceiling windows, and views over Madison Square Park toward the Flatiron Building and the MetLife Clocktower; recurring apartment features include high ceilings, open living and dining areas, private laundry rooms, and central air conditioning.
The building has a full time doorman, attended lobby, resident storage, outdoor entertainment space, terraces or balconies, and in unit washer and dryer facilities. Pets are allowed. Madison Square Park is directly across the avenue, with Eleven Madison Park, Scarpetta, Eataly, and The Clocktower among the nearby restaurants and destinations.
