This very large, pre-war, rental apartment building occupies about half the block bounded by Madison and Fifth Avenues and 86th and 85th Streets. The beige-brick building has light wells along the avenue and a mid-block mid-rise wing on 86th Street. It has a very large entrance marquee and a very large but bland lobby.
