Description

This very elegant co-operative apartment building at 655 Park Avenue between 67th and 68th Streets at  is not only shorter than most of its era on Park Avenue, but it is also decidedly different in its plan with two low-rise bays extended to the street line framing a large and very handsomely fenced court. 

The courtyard, however, is not the entrance as logic might have dictated but merely a very nice, landscaped garden. The building’s entrance is on 67th Street. 

James E. R. Carpenter and Mott B. Schmidt, were the architects of this impressive Georgian-style building. 

It was built in 1924 and has an 8-story wing on 67th Street, a 7-story wing on 68th Street and the main mid-block building is 11 stories. 

The red-brick building has about 50 apartments.
