With its rusticated limestone base, great copper cornice and numerous decorative balconies, 640 West End Avenue is considered one of the most elegant buildings on the Upper West Side. Constructed on the corner of 91st Street and West End Avenue and completed in 1913, the building is characterized by over-sized windows, rich architectural details, gracious dimensions and 10 foot ceilings.
