About

Built in 1926, it was converted to a condominium in 1983 and contains 84 apartments. The conversion and restoration, designed by David Gura, altered the building’s largely windowless facade by inserting many new windows. The Building was commisioned for The Knights of Pythias which was a fraternity founded in 1864. It was built mostly in buff brick and terra cotta. Sprinkled over the surface is some of the most brilliant polychrome terra cotta in New York.
