Carter's Review
This stunning, 12-story co-operative apartment building at 200 West 54th Street was designed by George and Edward Blum in 1912.
It is distinguished by one of the city's most flamboyant cornices and its highly decorative façades.
The building has 128 apartments and was converted to a co-operative in 1989.
The highly patterned cornice flares outward in a broad curve atop two-story-high pilasters that rest on a 10th floor bandcourse.
The building abounds in an exuberant mix of details that recall the Arts and Crafts movement, the Secession and Art Nouveau with shields and squares and even an "Excalibur" element above the front door.
The building, which was named after the famous Hotel Adlon in Berlin, was developed by Alexander Pincus, Joseph Graf and Morris Goldstone and originally the south wing was planned as a separate building called the Aljomor named after the developers first names.
The building, which is on the southwest corner at Seventh Avenue, has a one-step-up entrance and a two-step-up vestibule.
Its residents over the years have included Mickey Mantle and Carol Burnett.
It is one block south of the N, R and Q subway station on Seventh Avenue and there are many well-known delis and restaurants nearby as well as many skyscrapers. Carnegie Hall is at 57th Street.
