Our 20-story building sits on the west side of Fifth Avenue between Washington Square North and West Eighth Street.

Previous building site addresses were 14-18 Washington Square North, two-eight Fifth Avenue, four-six West Eighth Street and 17-18 MacDougal Alley.

Designed by architects Emery Roth and Sons for builder Samuel Rudin, the building was completed and first occupied in 1951.

The main entrance to the building is via a semi-circular driveway located mid-block on Fifth Avenue. From there, you can see the building's two sections.

The twenty-story, light, glazed brick structure is the bulk of the building. The rest, a low, five-story red brick portion facing Washington Square, was designed in scale with the row of townhouses adjoining the building to the west.
