Originally constructed in 1912 by the distinguished architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White, the 12-story palatial Italian Renaissance style building with its dignified limestone facade and distinctive wrought iron canopy, is widely regarded as the most handsome prewar cooperative in NYC. Moreover, 998 Fifth is legendary for being the first luxury apartment house specifically designed to offer all the advantages of private townhouse along with all of the conveniences associated with modern living.
Considered a landmark in residential apartment living, this coop sets a standard of elegance for other buildings that is often aspired to but rarely achieved.
