97 Fifth Avenue: Review and Ratings
between East 17th Street & East 18th Street View Full Building Profile
This very attractive late 19th Century office building has been converted to rental apartments.
The building has 12-foot-high ceilings.
The 8-story building, which is owned by the J. & R. Kalimian Trust, has 28 apartments and a three-story rusticated limestone base.
It was designed in 1898 by Robert Maynicke and in 2005 Community Board 5 approved the replacement of its windows with thermopane glass with aluminum frames noting that its "distinctive and decorative spiraled mullions will remain."
It is three blocks north of 14th Street where there is excellent cross-town bus service and this location is convenient not only to Greenwich Village and Union Square, but also the Chelsa and Flatiron Districts.
There are many restaurants and boutiques in this neighborhood as well as major stores such as Barnes & Noble, Whole Foods and ABC Carpets.
6sqft delivers the latest on real estate, architecture, and design, straight from New York City.
