About the building
14 East 68th Street began as a house designed by Lamb & Wheeler for developer Anthony Mowbray in 1878–79. William Lawrence Bottomley replaced its façade in 1925 with the limestone front that now defines the building. LPC identifies that neo-French Classical alteration as significant. The property later served as the Austrian Mission to the United Nations before its present use as a small residential cooperative.
The apartments include floor-through two-bedroom homes with two or more bathrooms, direct elevator access and windows facing the street and rear. Ceiling heights in some homes exceed ten feet. In-unit laundry and central air conditioning exist within the building, and residences have separate storage. The entrance is on East 68th Street close to Fifth Avenue and Central Park.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01382-0062). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library.

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.
