33 Fifth Avenue

 apartment building, movie / film / TV location

151-foot, 15-story Neo-Federal residential building completed in 1923. Designed by Sugarman, Hess & Berger, it is clad in running-bond brick with headers at every sixth course. It has a limestone (ashlar) base at the first floor with pilasters above, extending up for two stories crowned by a cornice. The 5th Avenue facade has four bays, with paired windows in the center and single windows in the outer bays. The north facade on 10th Street is asymmetrical, with a center triple-window flanked by single windows, in turn flanked by two bays of paired windows, and an additional single bay on the west end. Below the top floor, terra cotta pilasters extend up two stories with balustrades at the bottom windows. The front doorway has a boldly projected broken pediment.

33 5th Avenue was formerly managed by John B. Lovett & Associates. The exterior was used as a filming location for the USA original series "White Collar" as the site of an impromptu sidewalk seating area.
