Excerpt from LPC designation report of September 20, 1966:

Occupying an entire city block and enclosing a spacious landscaped courtyard, this massive twelve story brick and limestone building is a fine example of imaginative apartment house design.  Planned for gracious living, this Italian Renaissance structure is one of several large projects built at the turn of the Century, which set a rarely-surpassed standard for multiple dwellings in New York City.
