About the building
C. P. H. Gilbert designed this broad limestone mansion for Stuart Duncan, built in 1902–04. Its Beaux-Arts façade and approximately fifty-foot frontage reflect its origin as a substantial private house near Fifth Avenue. The house was converted to apartments in 1941 and to condominium ownership in 2005. A marble entrance hall and winding staircase remain part of the building's interior character.
The residential mix includes large full-floor homes and duplexes, smaller apartments, and a multilevel penthouse with terraces. The condominium also contains separate professional space at the lower level. Elevator service, a part-time doorman and a live-in superintendent provide staffing and access within a building with only a handful of residences. Private outdoor space belongs to selected homes; the roof terraces are part of the uppermost 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.
