834 Fifth Avenue rises on Fifth Avenue at East 64th Street, facing Central Park across from the zoo. Designed by Rosario Candela and completed in 1931, its limestone facade holds just 24 unusually large cooperative residences and is routinely called the most prestigious co-op on Fifth Avenue.
The building

Candela's limestone facade and Central Park frontage set the standard for the avenue.
