About
The Capitol, at 12 East 87th Street, is serenely situated between Madison and Fifth Avenue in heart of Carnegie Hill. Completed in 1912, the stately eight-story structure is clad in glazed white terra cotta and Roman brick with deep-set windows and remnants of a previously prominent terra cotta cornice. Designated as a landmark in 1993, the delicate Neo-Renaissance building comes from one of the city’s great nonconformist architectural firms, George & Edward Blum.

Designated as a landmark in 1993, the delicate Neo-Renaissance building comes from one of the city’s great nonconformist architectural firms, George & Edward Blum. Converted to a Co-op in 1995, the original full floor apartments have been sub-divided over the years so that the current number is 25, an average of just 3 per floor.
The Co-op allows Gifting, Co-purchasing and Guarantors and is Pied-a-terre and Pet friendly. Financing is permitted to 65%. Residents of this impressive building enjoy a friendly and skilled live-in Resident Manager and equally affable part time doormen. Laundry is in the basement but W/D are permitted in the units. Large basement storage is available at a small charge.
This architecturally significant and impressive building is in the heart of a residential neighborhood recognized for its fine shopping and dining as well as its rich cultural institutions and galleries. The Central Park location is minutes from the Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir with jogging and walking path and around the corner from Museum Mile with The Guggenheim, The Jewish Museum and The Met to name a few.
