820 Park Avenue

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

 

One of the more eclectic buildings on Park Avenue, this apartment house was originally designed to contain multi-story apartments???the "typical" apartment in the new building was a 17-room duplex???including a spectacular triplex for its developer, Albert J. Kobler, publisher of American Weekly magazine. Built in 1926 and converted to a cooperative in 1957, the interiors of the 12 large apartments within this narrow 16-story building are as intriguing as its history. Amenities include a full-time doorman and concierge. The building's prime Park Avenue location makes it a neighbor to some of the avenue's most glamorous residences as well as boutiques and department stores along Madison Avenue, art galleries and restaurants, museums and the Lenox Hill Hospital.
