Description

George Fred Pelham designed 124-126 East 63rd Street, as a stable in 1921. 63rd Street was known as the street of stables and this building was originally constructed as a four-story, stucco stable and later converted to a garage. It is a modest building without distinguishing architectural details.

This building is a 4 story parking garage and full cellar constructed of wood, steel, stucco and concrete. The lot is 5,021 square feet. Zoning would permit a construction of 5,000 FAR on the roof. There is a MTA cooling tower that is located on the roof. There are windows in the front and rear and at different levels on the east and west wall.

This property, located between Lexington and Park, is located in a bridge area connecting the Upper East Side with the high density shopping areas of Bloomingdales, 59th Street and 57th Street. As such, it is near Central Park, Central Park Zoo, the Skating Rink, the Plaza and other famous hotels on Central Park South, Bloomingdales and the exclusive stores on East 57th Street. Private high schools, a city college, major churches and synagogues and many well-known restaurants are located in the area. An extensive subway grid and bus lines are within short walking distance.  63rd Street is an exit street from the FDR Drive.
