Description

With its very large windows with limestone reveals, great copper cornice and imposing balconies, this 12-story building at 640 West End Avenue on the northeast corner at 91st Street is one of the most elegant pre-war apartment buildings in the city. 

Erected in 1912 and designed by Ralph S. Townsend. 

It was converted to a condominium in 1986. 

This building has 37 units. 

This is one of the most attractive areas along West End Avenue and is very convenient to Riverside Park and neighborhood shopping on Broadway.

Both sides of West End Avenue on the block south have only low-rise buildings.
