The Briarcliffe is a 13-story, 35-unit residence at 171 West 57th Street, at the northeastern corner with Seventh Avenue,[2] in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.

Located just north of Carnegie Hall, the property was built as a hotel in 1922, designed by architects Warren and Wetmore,[2] and converted to its current purpose as condominiums in 1999.

In 1998, the owner of the building hired architect Richard Rice to ready the deteriorating property to be placed on the market.

[2] Charles K. Eagle, who moved to the property in October 1923[3] from the Rodin Studios diagonally across Seventh Avenue and 57th Street, built himself a 5,573-square-foot[4] penthouse apartment, with a 1,847-square-foot[5] terrace that wraps around the southwestern corner of the building.

"[6][2] As such, the terrace featured flower beds, Japanese pines, a fountain with speckled trout, birdhouses and pheasants and squirrels.
