Located on Central Park South, just east of Columbus Circle, Gainsborough Studios is a unique landmark building rich in prewar character. Originally built in 1905 as an apartment hotel for artists, it was quickly converted into a cooperative. The recently restored fa ade features a striking bust of Thomas Gainsborough and an original frieze titled "A Festival Procession of the Arts," making it a truly distinctive property. The financials of Gainsborough Studio are in pristine condition and there is a healthy reserve fund. Residents enjoy full-time doorman service and the rarity of an elevator attendant. Pets and pied- -terre are welcome. This unit may be used as a home or an office and as a combination live/work space.
