Building: 1150 Park Avenue

1150 Park Avenue was constructed in the Moderne style in 1940 by architect George F. Pelham Jr. He chose an understated red brick design with symmetrical vertical lines to complement rather than compete with the neighboring buildings. The base of the building is granite. The first story facade consists of white limestone blocks, above the first story entrance are two symmetrical towers clad in red brick.

This 18 story coop was designed with terraces on the 10th, 14th, 17th and 19th floor. Originally there were 89 units, some have since been combined. A plan to convert from rental to cooperative ownership was offered in 1972. 1150 Park is a full service coop, with a resident superintendent, a gym, laundry room, and bicycle room. Possible wait list for storage units. Pets are allowed on a case by case basis. This Carnegie Hill coop is close to Madison Avenue shopping, Central Park, the 92nd Street Y, as well as public and private schools.
