Carter Horsley's Review of Ablemarle

Carter Horsley's Building Review
"This very elegant, mid-block building at 205 West 54th Street has an impressive two-story limestone base with a two-step-up canopied entrance with sidewalk landscaping and sconces. It has a three-step-up vestibule.

It has arched windows on the first floor and a rusticated façade with banded window surrounds on the second floor. The entrance surround has four two-story pilasters surrounded by a balcony on the third floor in front of arched windows and a banded limestone and red-brick façade. There are also arched windows above the eighth floor balcony." Read Carter's Full Review
