The Morgan Park is a Murray Hill condominium that borrows its identity from its address. Sitting mid-block on East 37th Street between Madison and Park Avenues — with the Morgan Library & Museum on the Madison corner and the Union League Club toward Park — the 1952 Emery Roth & Sons building occupies one of the neighborhood's most blue-chip stretches, and it takes its name from the landmark institution next door. It is a full-service, deeded-ownership building that combines condominium flexibility with a genuinely prime Murray Hill location, a short walk from Grand Central and the 6 at 33rd Street.
The building is a product of one of New York's most prolific apartment-house practices. Emery Roth & Sons designed a large share of the city's postwar apartment stock, and The Morgan Park is a characteristic example — a red-brick apartment house given quiet dignity by a stepped-down entrance set in polished red granite, a brass marquee, and sidewalk landscaping that softens the mid-block frontage. Converted to condominium ownership in 1986, it offers what the co-op stock around it largely does not: deeded units, condominium flexibility, and a permissive framework for pieds-à-terre, investors, and pet owners.
For buyers, the proposition is location and flexibility at a mid-market Murray Hill price. Studios and one-bedrooms set the pace of trading, at a value point for a full-service condominium beside the Morgan Library. The building trades on address, service, and structure rather than architectural spectacle, and its buyers reward it for all three.
Architecture and unit composition
The Morgan Park runs twelve stories of red brick, mid-block, with a stepped-down entrance framed in polished red granite beneath a brass marquee and set behind sidewalk landscaping. Some apartments carry balconies or canted windows. The inventory is predominantly studios and one-bedrooms, with a layer of larger and combined apartments. Layouts are Emery Roth-practical — efficient room shapes, defined foyers, and real closet volume — and they renovate cleanly. Exposures are mid-block, so light and outlook track floor height more than line. The building runs on through-wall or window air conditioning rather than central systems; buyers pricing renovations should set HVAC expectations accordingly.
Building operations
This is a staffed, full-service condominium: a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a live-in superintendent, an elevator, central laundry, and private storage with a package room. There is no on-site garage, gym, or roof deck. The condominium declaration, by-laws, and current house rules are on file in The Roebling Research Library and available to clients during due diligence.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026) cleared a median $1,397/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 2.0% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
You are buying address and flexibility. A full-service condominium beside the Morgan Library, with deeded ownership and condominium flexibility, is the core proposition. Weigh it against the co-op stock nearby that prices lower but restricts more.
Condominium flexibility is real. Pieds-à-terre, investor use, subletting under the declaration, and cats-and-dogs pet policy — the framework accommodates structures a Murray Hill co-op resists. Confirm current sublet terms at offer stage.
Note the landmark distinction. The building sits within the honorific National Register district but outside the NYC-designated historic district — meaning no NYC exterior-alteration controls. That is a diligence footnote, not a constraint on ownership.
Prioritize floor. In a mid-block building, light and outlook are a function of height. Price accordingly.
Mansion tax may apply. Run pricing through the Mansion Tax Calculator where the $1M threshold is in play.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the address and the architect. The Morgan Library-adjacent location and the Emery Roth & Sons pedigree are the marketing story. Put them first.
Reach the flexibility-driven pool. The condominium structure and permissive framework widen the buyer set beyond owner-occupants; name the flexibility to reach buyers a co-op listing would miss.
Condition drives the spread. In a building where exposures vary modestly, renovated-versus-original is the pricing axis. Price original-condition units to the renovation math — the Renovation Cost Calculator frames it for buyers.

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.
