The Sexton, 530 West End Avenue: Review and Ratings

between West 85th Street & West 86th Street View Full Building Profile

Carter Horsley
Review of 530 West End Avenue by Carter Horsley

This very distinguished looking building was erected in 1912 and converted to a condominium in 1984.

The 13-story, dark beige brick building has 43 apartments. It was designed by Mulliken & Moeller.

The building has a one-story, rusticated limestone base over a half-story granite base and excellent first floor window grates. The building has a canopy flanked by lanterns, a doorman and a step-up entrance and lush landscaping.

The building, which has ornate window reveals highlighted the top of its façades and a couple in the base, has consistent fenestration and permits protruding air-conditioners.

It has an excellent location, one block from excellent cross-town bus service and one block from a local subway station at Broadway. This is a prime area of the Upper West Side that has fine neighborhood shopping and restaurants nearby. Unfortunately, the building is across 86th Street from a very unattractive, five-story, orange-beige brick building.
