825 Fifth Avenue

Perhaps J.E.R. Carpenter’s most striking residential project, 825 Fifth Avenue is a 23-story tower with a dramatically pitched red tile roof and contains 66 apartments.  An imposing presence when glimpsed from the park or Madison Avenue (as shown here), it is equally handsome at the street level.

The building was completed in 1926.
