Emery Roth was a master who combined eclectic architectural elements into romantic compositions of dignity and grace. His design of ornate apartment buildings was inspired by Renaissance palaces. Flanking the main entrance are two Gothic figures, a medieval warrior and the other, a builder, that legend has it Roth modeled them after his client, the Bing Brothers. Founded in 1906, Leo and Alexander Bing built hotels and apartments at a time when luxurious in New York was synonymous with grand-scale elegance. The building is fully staffed with a live-in resident manager and full-time doormen. Additional amenities include a fully equipped state-of-the-art gym, storage bins for each unit, a bicycle room, and a beautiful refurbished lobby. The residence is located in the heart of the Upper East Side near the Metropolitan Museum, Central Park, schools, wonderful restaurants and lovely boutiques.
