Overview of The Griffon at 77 Park Avenue

The Griffon is a 127 unit pre-war condominium built in 1924 and designed by architects Margon & Glaser. Located at 77 Park Avenue in the Murray Hill Historic District, this full service building was converted to condominiums in 1969 and maintains its elegant prewar character with just four units per floor. The building offers white glove service with a full time doorman and concierge, along with amenities including a common rooftop deck with Empire State Building and Chrysler Building views, fitness center, laundry facilities, bike room, and storage options.

Apartments feature classic prewar details including high ceilings, hardwood floors and working wood burning fireplaces in some units. Many residences have been thoughtfully renovated with modern kitchens featuring high end appliances from brands like Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele, while preserving original architectural elements like crown moldings and beamed ceilings. Units range from studios to three bedrooms, with many offering custom closet systems and renovated bathrooms. The building permits in-unit washer/dryer installation and welcomes both full time residents and pied-à-terre owners.

The building gained historical notoriety in 1936 when Special Prosecutor Thomas E. Dewey prosecuted resident Mrs. Abraham Z. Schiebel for running a high profile prostitution operation from her apartment, with clients reportedly including a major league baseball team owner and prominent business executives. This scandal later inspired Harold Robbins' 1955 novel "79 Park Avenue." Today, The Griffon's prime location steps from Grand Central Terminal and Bryant Park, combined with its pet friendly policies and well maintained pre-war charm, makes it a coveted address in Murray Hill.
