This building is known only as 45 East 66th Street and was built in 1908 as an apartment building with two 12-13 room apartments on each floor. As of 1988, when this Streetscapes column was written, a "handful" survived intact. The column concerns the major restoration done in 1988 to restore the façade to its original form.
The AIA Guide to New York City describes it thusly: "Two glassy 10-story walls of 12 over 12 double-hung windows intersect in a magnificent cylinder of even more windows, making this one of the city's grandest facades."
