This limestone-clad, 13-story structure is one of the most exclusive and elegant buildings on the avenue because of its very fine detailing and that the fact that it has only 6 apartments.

Exquisitely designed in Italian-Renaissance-palazzo-style by Rosario Candela and the firm of Warren & Wetmore, this building has a sidestreet entrance and attractive landscaping. It was built in 1927, a year after the similar and equally handsome building directly across 80th Street was completed to designs by J. E. R. Carpenter, Candela’s predecessor as the preeminent designer of luxury apartment buildings on the Upper East Side. This building was converted to a cooperative in 1952
