Building: 1261 Madison Avenue Apartments

Designed in 1900 by Buchman & Fox, 1261 Madison was one of the first luxury apartment buildings built in Carnegie Hill. In 1910, The World’s New York Apartment House Album described it as “one of the most select and attractive apartment houses on Madison Avenue.” 1261 Madison remains as one of the most beautiful and distinctive buildings in the neighborhood. Just 7 stories with only 14 apartments and built in the French Beaux Arts style with its mansard roof and cast iron railing, 1261 Madison was designated a city landmark in 1974.

Located in the heart of Carnegie Hill on 90th and Madison Avenue, 1261 is much sought-after not only for the uniqueness of its apartments and their pre World War I details (12 foot ceilings, magnificent floors and mouldings) but also for its prime and coveted location, close to the city’s finest schools and Central Park.
