131 East 66th Street

[1] This Italian Renaissance-inspired building was constructed in 1905–1906 as a cooperative apartment house.

Designed by Charles A. Platt, who resided here from 1906 until his death in 1933, the building expresses the architect's highly individualistic style.

[2] Crowned by an elaborate projecting cornice, the limestone elevations are proportioned and feature a rhythmic grouping of windows.

The two entrances are distinguished by massive columns and broken pediments.
