Considered by many to be among the finest examples of pre-war apartment house architecture, 740 Park Avenue is defined by its stately proportions and unsurpassed elegance. Drawn by Rosario Candela and Arthur Loomis Harmon in 1929, the plans for this esteemed building remain a standard for gracefully functional design and serve still as inspiration for today’s most sought-after buildings. Ideally located on East 71st Street, this marvelous and newly-renovated duplex residence is distinguished by a refined and quiet sophistication, impressive scale, and superb original architectural detail.
