The attractive 19-story apartment building at 945 Fifth Avenue was designed by famed Emery Roth & Sons in 1949. Its creators describe it as a "straightforward composition rendered in beige brick above a two-story limestone base."
The watertank enclosure is the most dramatic on Fifth Avenue, rising in two setbacks and conjuring the aesthetics of Mayan temples. Its entrance welcomes tenants beneath a two-story recess.
The high-rise has a canopied entrance, doorman, and air-conditioning units. Via windowed kitchens and bathrooms, many residents enjoy views of Central Park.
