Carter Horsley's Review

Carter Horsley's Building Review
"Erected in 1936 on the former site of the townhouse of John D. Rockefeller Sr., this through-block project is notable for its large, curved bay windows and its large garden.

John D. Rockefeller Sr. originally planned only to renovate his townhouse, but, according to Robert A. M. Stern, Gregory Gilmartin and Thomas Mellins in their book, "New York 1930 Architecture and Urbanism Between The Two World Wars," Rizzoli, 1987, "gradually the undertaking grew into a full-scale project providing two twelve-story buildings that represented an important breakthrough on a number of counts: the Rockefeller Apartments filled a five-year-old void in middle-class apartment house construction in midtown, and at the same time introduced a new elegance to efficiently, organized, modestly scaled accommodations and demonstrated that nonhistorical architecture need not necessarily be harsh and mechanistic.""
