Building Description

A treasured landmark in the Theater District, the Gainsborough Studios building is home to 30 residential co-op units and 2 commercial units. Built in 1908 and so-named to commemorate the 18th-century painter Thomas Gainsborough, the 62,800 square-foot building was initially intended to house artists who had flocked to New York City. A bust of Gainsborough sits over the front entrance to greet residents. Plenty of natural light shines through the 18-foot windows of each unit, which makes it perfect for artistic pursuits even today.

This beautiful building, enhanced by terra cotta friezes and bright, colorful tile work, stands out amongst the other buildings in the area. The living room windows for each unit face Central Park with unobstructed views. A rooftop deck, and amenities like a 24-hour doorman and elevator operator enhance the charm of the building, as does the Craftsman-style lobby and wrought-iron entrance doors. Its location is part of the building's appeal, as well, as it is steps away from the subway station at Columbus Circle & 59th St running lines A, B, C, and D, and a short distance from Carnegie Hall and numerous retail stores, restaurants, and theaters. The local school is PS 111 Adolph S. Ochs, about half a mile away.
