- Year built
- 1928
130 East 75th Street is a second Schwartz & Gross work on East 75th Street — designed at the height of the firm's 1920s prewar apartment-house production. The building sits just east of Temple Israel (the Reform congregation's signature 1969 Peter Blake building, the most architecturally significant modernist synagogue on the Upper East Side).
The structural identity rests on three features. First, the Schwartz & Gross 1928 prewar architectural pedigree — placing 130 East 75th in the firm's most prolific construction cycle. Second, the 54-unit operational scale — large enough to support a full operational program; small enough to retain prewar cooperative character. Third, the 1988 late cooperative conversion — distinct from the 1947-tier conversions, producing a shareholder community that is less generation-locked and more transactionally active.
