The Osborne, at 205 West 57th Street, was one of New York's first luxury apartment houses; along with peers like the Dakota, it helped to popularize the idea of apartment living among New York's affluent classes. A monument to the Gilded Age, the Osborne features a rusticated brownstone facade with both Romanesque and Renaissance motifs, and a foyer and lobby elaborately adorned with marble, mosaics, murals, gilding, and stained glass. Although many of its grand apartments were gradually subdivided, the Osborne has always remained a habitat for the interesting and influential, including many habitués of across-the-street neighbor Carnegie Hall, such as Leonard Bernstein and Van Cliburn.
In this handsome volume, Davida Tenenbaum Deutsch, a longtime resident and the leading authority on the Osborne, traces every stage of the building's history--from the tangled tale of its financing and construction to its present status as a proud nineteenth-century survivor on Billionaires' Row--profiling its most colorful tenants along the way. Original color photography and archival illustrations bring the Osborne's apartments and public spaces to vivid life, and a study of the building's stained glass by noted expert Julie L. Sloan clarifies the respective contributions of the John La Farge and Tiffany studios.
