140 East 40th Street: Review and Ratings
between Lexington Avenue & Third Avenue View Full Building Profile
This very attractive, 14-story, Art Deco-style apartment building was erected in 1930. It was converted to a cooperative in 1980 and has 98 units.
The mid-block building has slightly protruding center piers that culminate in two short towers and these piers are accented by black and brown masonry patterning with dark, narrow balconies at the top and bottom. The building has consistent, multi-paned fenestration, a doorman, a nice red terracotta cornice with a geometric design, and some terraces. The canopied entrance is flanked by wall lanterns and leads to a five-step-down vestibule.
The building is two blocks south of the Chrysler Building and Grand Central Terminal.
6sqft delivers the latest on real estate, architecture, and design, straight from New York City.
