Review of 4 East 70th Street by Carter Horsley

The Frick Collection is arguably the most impressive museum in the United States and this mid-block apartment building is directly across from its very elegant entrance.

This attractive, Art Deco-style, 13-story building was erected in 1938 and converted to a cooperative in 1981. It has 37 apartments.

In addition to The Frick Collection, the north side of this street also has beautiful mansions that house several important art galleries such as the Berry-Hill Galleries, Knoedler and Hirschl & Adler. Many architectural critics consider much of East 70th Street to have some of the prettiest blocks in the city.

This beige-brick building has a concierge, discrete air-conditioners, sidewalk landscaping and a step-down lobby. It has limestone pilasters flanking its entrance and basement storage and because of the low-rise buildings on the north side of the street, many apartments have nice views of Central Park.

The building has some terraces, but no garage, no health club and no roof deck.

The building has a prime Upper East Side location that is not far from the area's many fashionable boutiques and restaurants, art galleries and museums, and social clubs. This is a quiet street. There is cross-town bus service on 72nd and 67th Streets and a subway station is several blocks away at 67th Street and Lexington Avenue.
