Carter's Review

This attractive, 17-story, red-brick apartment building was erected in 1962 and is a cooperative with 54 units.

Located across the street from the impressive, Romanesque-style Barbizon Hotel, it has a convenient Upper East Side location that is close to shopping and the Midtown Office District and is not far from subway stations.

The building has a one-story limestone base with attractive polished black granite planters and decorative metal spandrels around the canopied entrance. The building has a doorman, discrete air-conditioners, some terraces and two-story limestone pilasters around the side-street entrance. It has no garage, no health club, and no roof deck.

There is considerable traffic in this neighborhood on Lexington Avenue, but this is a quiet and handsome side-street. There are many restaurants, religious institutions and clubs in the neighborhood.
