otsoNY Comments: The property was used for exterior shots, mainly the entrance only. In fact, the balcony scene was shot at a completely different location several blocks north on 5th Avenue.

Residential apartment building, 1067 Fifth Avenue was designed in the Francois I and chateuesque style by C. P.H. Gilbert, the architect of several 5th Avenue mansions, including the Otto Kahn Mansion at 1 East 91st Street and the Felix and Frieda Warburg mansion (Jewish Museum) at 1109 Fifth Avenue.

This beautiful structure is reminiscent of the architecture of the early French Renaissance exemplified by the chateaux in the Loire Valley. The façade of dressed limestone, three windows wide, is divided into three sections: a two-story base, a nine-story midsection, and a two-story slate mansard roof punctuated by crested dormers with finials. The façade is further articulated by paired flat-arched windows with transoms, capped by drip mouldings. The window enframements and the entrance surround are enlivened by carved stone ornament, including dolphins and dragons. Additional decorative elements include small balustrade balconies at the sixth and tenth stories and a balustrade cornice at the twelfth story.
