The apartments are located in a landmarked circa 1871 five-story townhouse built in the architectural style of the much-loved New York City row house, or "brownstone." Designed in the simplified "Italianate" style, the house's architecture features tall pedimented windows and an elaborate cornice.
The low-profile 1871 House is small, quiet, private, and residential with an old-world ambiance.
Because the 1871 House is at the epicenter of a chic & bustling neighborhood, many of the Upper East Side's finest restaurants are in close proximity as are Madison Avenue's chic boutiques and stylish cafes.
