Built in 1928, the Pierre was designed by Schultze and Weaver. The 44-story structure is set back from Fifth Avenue, 500 feet above 61st Street, and is topped with a mansard-style copper roof. The impressive building has granite and cream-colored brick and a limestone-fronted base. A balustraded limestone railing, topped with foliated urns, outlines the setback on the second story. Inspired by a French chateau, its upper floors include Corinthian pilasters and arch-headed windows, with octagonal ends, under a tall, slanted, copper roof with bronze-finished bull’s-eye dormers. The Pierre was once owned by J. Paul Getty who bought it in 1938 and turned it into a cooperative in 1959. The building underwent a $100 million dollar renovation in 2005 and is now a luxury hotel and residence managed by Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces.
