The historic Level Club, built in 1927 is an extraordinary, architectural masterpiece designed by an elite group of Freemasons known as "the Levelers" as a lavish, exclusive men's club and residence for its members. The intricately detailed granite and brick facade is steeped in Masonic imagery and symbols on every level. Its breathtaking, ornate lobby has been elegantly restored to its former glory, complete with imperial staircase leading to a wraparound mezzanine and grand, Moorish inspired chandelier, bathing the room in a warm, golden light. Perfectly situated on tree lined, 73rd Street, the Level Club is a full service, pet friendly, luxury building complete with playroom, central laundry and bike storage and is steps away from public transportation, fine dining, shopping, theatre and Riverside Park.
