Overview of The Walton at 104 West 70th Street

The Walton, located at 104 West 70th Street and Columbus Avenue, is a distinguished pre-war building constructed in 1902 and converted to condominiums in 1981. This 12-story, 83-unit structure features a brown brick façade with a two-story limestone base and distinctive Beaux Arts classical detailing. The building is architecturally notable for its protruding bay windows on the fifth and sixth floors, though it lost its original copper cornices during the Depression era.

The full-service building offers modern amenities including 24-hour doorman service, a live-in superintendent, laundry facilities on every floor, cold storage, and a Building Link system. Additional conveniences include bike storage and private storage units available for rent. The building has undergone recent renovations to its lobby and hallways, maintaining its historic character while providing contemporary comforts.

Situated in a prime Upper West Side location, The Walton sits just one block from Central Park and within walking distance to Lincoln Center. The neighborhood offers exceptional access to transportation, with express subway service at 72nd Street and multiple bus lines nearby. The area is known for its vibrant dining scene and diverse shopping options, including Fairway, Trader Joe's, and numerous boutiques along Columbus Avenue.

Originally constructed as a hotel, The Walton exemplifies the architectural grandeur of its era with its red brick and limestone façade. The building's conversion to condominiums in the 1980s coincided with the broader gentrification of the Columbus Avenue corridor, which transformed this section of the Upper West Side into one of Manhattan's most desirable residential neighborhoods.
