Carter's Review

This very attractive, mid-block, 10-story, co-operative apartment building was erected in 1923 and has 25 units.  

It was designed by Mott B. Schmidt, the architect of major townhouses on Sutton Place, 655 and 1088 Park Avenue, and the Vincent Astor Townhouse that is now the Junior League of New York Building on East 80th Street.  His grandfather, Dr. John W. Schmidt Jr., was the first visiting surgeon at St. Vincent's Hospital and helped start the New York Academy of Medicine.

Bottom Line

An elegant, Georgian-style, mid-block building with fireplaces between Madison and Park Avenue.

It has a two-story limestone base with a two-step-up, canopied entrance with a broken pediment surround and fenced sidewalk landscaping. 

The building has multi-paned fenestration.

Amenities

The building has a full-time doorman and a live-in superintendent.
