Architectural Investigator-- 25 Sutton Place

This place has been around for a while (note the fire escapes on the exterior --sure sign of an old style building, built under different zoning laws..)

Well, first, let's check the public record

 Built much later than I would have thought from the fire escapes!

Now to see if there is anything more we can dig up on this "old money" sort of building-

Aha, the architect of this place was VERY busy in the late 1920's with "white glove" buildings like this...first, an overall pic from Street Easy

25 Sutton Place is located on the Northeast corner of 58th Street. With 13 units on 15 floors, the typical floor plan is an 11-room simplex with a private elevator landing and wood-burning fireplace. There is also a duplex maisonette and a 15-room triplex penthouse. Designed by the renowned architect Rosario Candela with Cross & Cross as supervising architects, it was built by One Sutton Square Corporation in 1928.
This cooperative known as Cannon Point North, Inc. incorporated in 1961. It is a prestigious, full-service white glove building with a concierge, elevator operator and live-in resident manager. No financing is permitted and there is a 3% flip tax payable by the purchaser. Pets are permitted.
This prime Sutton Place location affords you the serenity of the East River but the convenience of being in midtown. There are wonderful restaurants in this neighborhood in addition to Whole Foods.
