About the building
The Lucia occupies the house Romeyn & Stevens designed in 1891–92 for James C. Fargo, then president of American Express. The Renaissance Revival facade has brownstone at the first story and brick and terra cotta above, with Ionic columns at the entrance and arched upper windows. Its construction replaced an earlier row house on the site. The current condominium conversion brought seven residences to this five-story building in the Murray Hill Historic District.
The homes range from compact upper-floor apartments to a three-bedroom garden duplex. Tall sash windows and open living spaces carry through the conversion, while the garden home has a separate private outdoor area at the rear. One- and two-bedroom layouts occupy portions of the upper floors; larger plans offer three bedrooms. In-unit laundry and updated heating and cooling accompany the restored exterior. The original townhouse width produces a mixture of front, rear and larger combined-floor accommodation.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
