It is all limestone, with double sets of Florentine-style windows and one five-bedroom apartment per floor. This marked his arrival into the stratosphere of luxury apartments, with a separate gallery, reception room, wine closet and six servants' rooms, including a separate section for the butler and the 'second man.'

The gorgeous and dramatic SE facing living room and oversized dining room were designed and intentionally positioned lengthwise along Park Avenue to enhance that light. These rooms span nearly 70' with open views overlooking the historic Armory which was built in 1879. Just off the gallery is a lovely south facing library and an unusual and seductive 7' wide and nearly 48' long corridor which leads you to the secluded private wing and further reveals the unique proportion and expansiveness of this full floor residence, currently 15 rooms, inclusive of 5 bedrooms, 6 baths and two staff rooms.
