155 EAST 22ND STREET
(now Parish House of the Gustavus Adolphus Swedish Lutheran Church)
Architect: DeLemos & Cordes
1889

With one apartment on each of its five floors, this Queen Anne style building is a fine example of the early apartment houses erected in the Gramercy Park area. The well-modulated facade has a rock-faced stone base that blends well with the neighboring church begun two years earlier. The upper floors are brick articulated by a variety of window arrangements and crowned by a projecting iron cornice. The facade is enlivened by the use ofa two-story angled metal bay, iron tie rods, and a band of terra-cotta ornament. In 1947, the building became the Parish House of the Gustavus Adolphus Swedish Lutheran Church, and the two buildings received an internal connection.
