Designed by Emile Gruwe and completed in 1886, the building is a beloved local treasure located on the corner of 78th Street and Columbus Avenue, directly across the street from its contemporary, the American Museum of Natural History. This turn-of-the-century beauty was thoughtfully restored, thoroughly modernized, and completed in 2018. Stephen Sills, an Architectural Digest "AD 100" designer, fashioned the building's lobby, amenity spaces, and a collection of carefully conceived residences.
101 West 78th Street is a full-service building with a 24-hour attended lobby and dedicated Superintendent. Amenities include a fitness center and children's playroom.
