78 Fifth Avenue

78 Fifth Avenue’s handsome façade is obscured but not defaced by the addition of fire escapes – possibly the only time these life-saving devices are visible to this extent on Fifth Avenue.  The detailing on the uppermost floors strikes a curiously old-fashioned note, with rounded hood molds redolent of the Italianate detailing of a previous generation.

The lofts within are popular with fashion shoots and corporate events.
