THE BUILDING

Located in the Upper East Side Historic District, 36 East 69th St.

was built around 1879. A common practice in the early 20th century was to replace unfashionable brownstone-fronted houses with a more sophisticated limestone style mansion. 36 East 69th St.

was subsequently redesigned twice by two prominent architects, Jardine, Kent & Jardine in 1903, and in 1923 by Carrere & Hastings for Mrs. Theodore Pratt. This 25 ft. wide 6 story elevatored mansion was converted into a cooperative in 1984 originally with 12 units, currently 10 units.

Full time Superintendent.
