820 5th Avenue

One of the New York’s grandest apartment buildings, this 12-story limestone palazzo has only one apartment per floor.

This magnificent and finely detailed building is one of the stateliest and most expensive apartment buildings on Fifth Avenue and was the residence of Governor Alfred E. Smith, who enjoyed nightly walks in the Central Park Zoo just across the avenue.

Each apartment has a 44-foot-long gallery, five bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms, 7 servants’ rooms and five fireplaces and large entertaining areas.
