Cooperative apartment building which was designed c. 1930. It is connected to the Carlyle Hotel next door via a downstairs hallway which has become the de facto smuggling route for anyone seeking to evade possible threats or the paparazzi.

It was used for a 1990's visit by Bill Clinton who used the connected internal staircase to enter the Carlyle Hotel without incident. Kahn recalled to the Wall Street Journal in 2013 that he told he board "We have a guy coming to stay with us: He has white hair, lives in a big white house in Washington, and he has a lot of people with him in suits with earphones. We would like the guy with white hair to come through your lobby."
