888 Park Avenue, Upper East Side, New York, NY 10021

 

Erected in 1926 and converted to a cooperative in 1953, this large apartment building is recognizable by its richly decorated red-brick facade and interesting cornice that make it one of the avenue's most attractive residences. The deep, ornate lobby with a full-time doorman is impressively elegant, and pets are welcome in the 14-story building's 48 apartments. Just across Park Avenue from the "pink" pavilion of Lenox Hill Hospital, the prewar co-op is also near the restaurants, boutiques, art galleries and museums of Madison Avenue and everything the Upper East Side has to offer.
