67 West 58th Street
New York, NY 10019
122-foot, 11-story Beaux-Arts residential building completed in 1901 as a 10-story building. Designed by Harry S. Clawson and Robert T. Lyons, it is clad in red brick above and limestone a 2-story rusticated limestone base. At the center of the south facade on 58th Street there is a 2-step-up entrance that leads to an automatic glass door that leads into a modern and quite attractive lobby with a concierge. The glass door gives the lobby high visibility, but is unadorned and rather incongruous with the building’s essential ornateness. The entry is set in a double-height round-arch, beveled at the edges and topped by a large cartouche. To the left of the entrance is a square vent, and a plate-glass storefront at the corner; to the east of the entrance is a bright white, metal, stone, and glass storefront with fluted Ionic columns between the windows, which are divided into tall lower and shorter upper panes; this storefront has wooden double-doors at the left. At the 2nd floor there are five single-windows on either side of the arch, with projecting bracketed sills. Along with the cartouche, four oversized console brackets support a projecting, central balcony section of the stone cornice that caps the base.
The west facade on the avenue has seven bays, with storefronts along the ground floor; the 3rd bay from the south was once a secondary entrance, and still features a small stone balcony carried on three elaborate console brackets, although two of them are partially obscured by the storefront's awning. The 2nd floor has tripartite windows with projecting, brackets sills. The cornice continues on this facade, with a pair of projecting balconies each on a pair of console brackets; both balconies have intricate wrought-iron railings, the northern one also extending southward onto the central portion of the cornice.
The upper floors here are divided into three sections, with three bays of windows at the ends, and five bays of single-windows in the center. Limestone quoins separate the three sections and also line the edges of the facade. The 3rd-floor windows have stone enframements, topped by console brackets carrying triangular pediments that enclose lavish carved decoration. The windows at the 4th-6th floors all have projecting stone sills, brick pilasters, and hooded stone lintels with scrolled keystones. There is a stone band course across the top of the 7th floor that was originally the location of another cornice. Here carved lion's heads adorn the piers between the outer-bay windows, and four large console brackets remain that once supported the cornice in the middle. The 3rd window from the north has also been changed to a double-window.
The outer bays of the 8th & 9th floors match those below, with keystones at the 8th floor and lions' heads at the 9th, which is capped by another band course. The middle section has its five bays divided by 2-story fluted Corinthian columns. The windows have stone enframements and stone spandrels between the two floors are decorated with ornate garlands and foliate ornament. The windows of the 10th floor are all round-arched, with stone lintels on top featuring keystones. In the middle section paneled stone pilasters divide the bays. The original roof cornice has also been removed, and a black iron fire escape runs down three of the bays on the south part of the facade.
The upper floors on the south facade follow the same design, but have four single-windows in the end sections instead of three. In addition there is a stone balcony at the center window on the 6th floor, with two large console brackets and wrought-iron railing. The 11th-floor penthouse has a "modern," slanted skylight somewhat recessed from the building’s perimeter that is not unattractive by itself but not in context with the building.
The north and east elevations are plain, parged beige brick with a few bays of various windows. The building was converted to a condominium in 1976, and has 85 units. The ground floor is occupied by Quality Meats restaurant, Central Perk Wine & Spirits, Igal Dahar Jeweler, Central Park Gifts & Souvenirs, Art Gallery custom framing, Halo Deli, and a very small convenience store.
