47 East 88th Street is a beautiful brick and limestone building, designed by the architect Fred Pelham and built in 1930. It is a well-established and well-run coop, converted in 1957. Because of their creation of high-quality attractive street-level commercial spaces, Carnegie Hill Neighbors honored the coop with their prestigious Carnegie Hill Neighbors Enrichment Award. This peaceful and popular Carnegie Hill location is known for its neighborly feel, outstanding shops and restaurants and proximity to Central Park and many excellent museums.
