The San Remo, New York NY

Wow, the former home of fictional character Felix Unger before his Ex-wife Gloria threw him out.

This is an apartment building of architectural importance. It can be viewed from the west side of Central Park, and was designed by Emery Roth. It opened in 1930. It was the first apartment block to have twin towers, and there are four apartment blocks that use this design spanning the west side of Central Park. The towers pertrude from the 18th floor creating this breath taking design. The building has two adresses; 145 and 146 Central Park West because it was designed that each half of the structure is served by separate lobbies.

Greatest apartment building in NYC (sorry Gehry). One of four twin towered buildings on Central Park West. Emery Roth put Greek temples on top of the twin towers.

Can’t tell of any other better view of the Central Park than from this PH

This is an architecturally significant building. It is about 90 years old and, if anything, is as attractive as any other local apartment house. Many notables from the business and entertainment world call the San Remo one of their homes.

Architect,  Emery Roth, took advantage of new zoning regulations to build the first of New York's twin towered apartment blocks.  Each of San Remo's ten-story towers is topped with an English Baroque mansion in the manner of John Vanbrugh and capped with a homage to the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates. The Athenian monument was known to Roth from the reproduction that had featured in the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, 1893.
