Carter Horsley's Building Review

54 CITYREALTY RATING

Carter's Review

This very handsome, Art Deco-style, red-brick, 16-story, pre-war apartment building is a cooperative with 66 units.

The mid-block building has a canopied entrance flanked by colorful terra-cotta decorative elements. It is a little to the west of a synagogue on the southwest corner at Second Avenue.

The building has a doorman, a three-step-up vestibule, protruding air-conditioners, and a green marble entrance surround. It has no garage, no health club and no sidewalk landscaping.

It has a central Upper East Side location that is convenient to many cultural and religious institutions, restaurants and boutiques. It is not too far from Lenox Hill Hospital and a local subway station at 77th Street and Lexington Avenue and there is good cross-town bus service on 79th Street.
