Carter's Review
This 12-story, red-brick, cooperative apartment building is one of the most spectacular in the city because of its very ornate and spectacular roofline, which is perforated with bold Art Nouveau style detailing. It was erected in 1909 and designed by Neville & Bagge.
The building, which has 35 apartments, has a three-story limestone base. It has several decorative balconies and those on the fourth floor have squirrels. The building has a doorman, a roof deck, a step-up entrance, and protruding air-conditioners, but no sidewalk landscaping and no garage.
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 and one of the city's best coffee shops, the City Diner, is located in the building's retail space on Broadway. There is a subway station at 86th Street where there is also excellent cross-town bus service.
