Carter’s Review

"This beige-brick apartment building is distinguished for its dark green entrance surround that leads to a large, cute, red-brick lobby that is designed to resemble a London Street that was the subject of a famous popular song, "Penny Lane." Part of the lobby is up several steps and has "streetfronts" and lampposts.

It is notable for having several paddle-tennis courts on its roof."
