 apartment building  Add category
6-story Art-Deco residential building completed in 1938. Designed by Irving Margon, it has many typical features of that day such as corner windows, streamlined dark red brickwork and metal casements throughout. It relies for the effectiveness of its design on contrasts, large windows adjoining small ones, and smooth walls contrasted with banded ones. It notably has slightly-recessed corner windows. This was the architecture of the New Deal period and represented a simplified version of those buildings of the 1920s which derived their inspiration from the formalized stylizations of the French Exposition des Arts Decoratifs.
