Here, in one of today?s most fashionable and desirable locations on the Upper West Side, steps from Central Park and Lincoln Center, is an intriguing piece of New York?s architectural history waiting to be uncovered and restored. With many of its 1905 features still intact, this historic Artist's studio has great potential that a visionary owner with a passion for history and architectural sleuthing will enjoy making reality. There are 110 year old floors to be restored, original oak doors, moldings, door frames and beams to be stripped of thick layers of paint. Sconces and ceiling light connections were clearly designed for gas lights, with gas pipes still in place, but were converted to electricity in more modern times. Except for the foyer, all rooms have 11 foot 3 inches high, beamed ceilings. The large, dramatic living room with tall studio windows facing North promises great space for entertaining after the theater or opera. There are double height, built-in closets in the corners. An additional window faces West. Folding doors separate the living room from the kitchen. The windowed kitchen has open water & gas pipes and needs renovation, but there is enough room for a full set of modern appliances. The bathroom is small, and could be made more serviceable. But it has a beautiful, large, cast iron, claw foot bathtub in perfect condition with original fixtures. What was once a window from the bathroom into the bedroom is currently covered up. The bedroom is very quiet and has a West window. The ceiling in the foyer is lowered and has a trap door leading to an extensive storage loft above.

The Atelier was built in 1905 as the second of six grand and distinctive Artist Studio apartment buildings constructed between 1901 and 1929 which form the Artists? Colony Historic District. These buildings have attracted many famous artists from the literary, dance, music, film, theatre, fashion and art worlds for over a century. Conceived and financed by artists,
