NYFE Summary

The apartment hotel rose when this part of Midtown was still largely a neighborhood of low houses. Its construction preceded the area’s growth into the theatre district.

Rounded window bays project from the brick front. Above them, tall dormers sit between steep gables, with columns and urns clustered around the upper windows. The roofline combines forms drawn from different northern European buildings.
