| Set back from the street, this complex of sixteen-story towers designed in 1957 by S. J. Kessler and Sons for 1,100 middle-income residents, demonstrates the popularity of the 'tower in park' design of new residential development in the post-World War II period. The apartments are primarily owner-occupied co-operative units. | |
