PARK GRAMERCY
7 Lexington Avenue
Architects: Boak & Raad
1949-51

The thirteen-story building at the southeast corner of Lexington Avenue and East 22nd Street is a very late example of a building with Art Deco forms. It is faced with pale yellow brick often used on Art Deco apartment houses and contains metal sash windows and a multi-tiered aluminum awning with the name of the building spelled out on top. The building was planned to contain 94 small apartments and four doctors' offices. This apartment house replaces the home of Peter Cooper, as noted on the plaque attached to the building.
