 apartment building  Add category

26-story mid-century modern cooperative-apartment building completed in 1974. Designed by Harry F. Green, it connects to the Carlton Regency Apartments building at the south end of the block, which was completed several years earlier. It is clad in beige brick above a ground floor of white stone. Much of the ground-floor space is taken up by a bleak public arcade below the upper floors, populated mainly by sparse stone columns and empty stone planter boxes. On the Lexington Avenue side, three openings between the stone piers access the arcade, while on 37th Street, there are eight openings, with the piers rising from a beige brick wall that grows in height at the site slopes down to the east. The third opening from the east has a staircase up to the arcade, and ground floor of the building behind it.

The upper floors have two bays on the west facade, both consisting of window bands with a large square pane in the center and slightly narrower double-windows flanking it, in beige metal framing. Air-conditioning vents are placed below the double-windows. The north facade has, from east to west, a tripartite window, a double-window, four tripartite window bays, a single-window bay, and another tripartite window bay.

The south facade has a bay at the west end that alternates double-windows and wide tripartite windows by floors. To the right of each tripartite window are two short single-windows. The east part of the south facade has a single-window, double-window, and tripartute window bay. The rear, east elevation has two bays of single-windows.

The building contains 108 apartments.
