685 West End Avenue: Review and Ratings

between West 93rd Street & West 94th Street View Full Building Profile

Review of 685 West End Avenue by Carter Horsley

This attractive, beige-brick apartment building, which has many gargoyles of lions on its façades, was erected in 1923 and converted to a cooperative in 1983.

The 16-story building, which has a handsome rooftop watertank enclosure, has 93 apartments.

The building has a two-story limestone base, a doorman, consistent fenestration, and a roofdeck.

It is in a very attractive stretch of West End Avenue and is only a block to the east from Riverside Park and a block to the west from convenient neighborhood shopping along Broadway. Cross-town bus service and a subway station are at 96th Street and Broadway.
