The Adamston, 251 West 89th Street: Review and Ratings

between Broadway & West End Avenue View Full Building Profile

Review of 251 West 89th Street by Carter Horsley

This very handsome, 12-story, pale yellow-brick apartment building was erected in 1910. It is a condominium and has 72 apartments.

The building's very pleasant façade has fine decorative masonry mullions and a deep light court above the first floor on its Broadway frontage. The building has a doorman, a roof deck, basement storage, a one-step-up entrance, and protruding air-conditioners. It has an exposed rooftop watertank and no balconies, no garage, no sidewalk landscaping and no health club. It is across the street from the attractive, red-brick Abraham Joshua Herschel School.

The neighborhood is one of the city's finest architecturally with many superb pre-World War II apartment buildings and some well-designed late 20th Century apartment houses as well. The lively area has many restaurants and stores. There is a subway station at 86th Street where there is also excellent cross-town bus service.
