817 Fifth Avenue

A staid example of the Italian Renaissance Revival by George B. Post & Sons, 817 Fifth Avenue was completed in 1916 and converted to a co-op in 1974.  817 Fifth Avenue contains only 16 apartments.

As is common with buildings along Central Park, the entrance is actually on the street rather than the avenue, to protect the lobby from wind, dust and noise.
