Carter’s Review

"This impressive building actually is comprised of two separate structures unified at the base by a two-story high colonnade with arched grillwork.

The 7-story building has very high ceilings and a canopied entrance with a very impressive lobby with a concierge. The building has no sidewalk landscaping and no garage and permits protruding air-conditioners. It was converted to a cooperative apartment building."
