This very attractive, pre-war rental apartment building is just to the east of the famous Chelsea Hotel apartment building, a landmark famous for its artist residents and its delightful Edwardian-style architecture with handsome wrought-iron balconies.This 18-story building has handsome terracotta window surround detailing on the third and fourth floors and its top five floors that culminate in a pleasantly designed rooftop watertank enclosure.The building, which is located on West 28th Street, has a large marquee entrance, a roof deck, a doorman and multipaned windows. It was erected in 1926.This is a prime Chelsea location that is very convenient to many restaurants and boutiques. Between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, it is a short walk in either direction to subway stations and there is good crosstown bus service. In the mid-1990s, the Chelsea district enjoyed a major renaissance as many art galleries moved in from SoHo and elsewhere and the Chelsea Pier along the Hudson River was opened as a major recreational facility.The very trendy Flatiron district is two blocks away to the east and this area is convenient to midtown to the north and Greenwich Village to the south.
