About

The Capitol, at 12 East 87th Street, is serenely situated between Madison and Fifth Avenue in the heart of Carnegie Hill. Completed in 1912, the stately nine-story structure is clad in glazed white terra cotta and Roman brick with deep-set windows and 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.
