It was designed by architect Charles A. Platt for developer Vincent Astor.[1] The twelve-story building is constructed around a landscaped courtyard. Architectural historian Christopher Gray believes that the landscape architect may have been Ellen Biddle Shipman.[2] The building became a co-op in 1985.[2]
