131 East 66th Street
The Studio Building is located on 131 East 66th Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City.[1]
History
[edit]This Italian Renaissance-inspired building was constructed in 1905–1906 as a cooperative apartment house. Designed by Charles A. Platt, who resided here from 1906 until his death in 1933, the building expresses the architect's highly individualistic style.[2] Crowned by an elaborate projecting cornice, the limestone elevations are proportioned and feature a rhythmic grouping of windows. The two entrances are distinguished by massive columns and broken pediments.
A Designated Landmark plaque was fixed by the New York Landmarks Preservation Foundation in 2006.
