Carter's Review

This very attractive, 7-story building at 66-72 Saint Nicholas Avenue on the southwest corner at 114th Street in Harlem was erected in 1915 and has 54 condominium units.  It is known as The Lucile and as St. Nicholas Court.  It was converted in 1991. 

It is convenient to public transportation.
