The Apthorp, Residential building at Upper West Side Manhattan, US.

The Apthorp spans an entire city block between Broadway and West End Avenue, featuring a limestone facade with three-story arched entrances and a central courtyard.

William Waldorf Astor commissioned Clinton and Russell architects to build this structure in 1905, which opened in 1908 as New York City's largest apartment building.

The building represents early 20th-century luxury residential architecture with Italian Renaissance Revival elements, including Corinthian pilasters and decorative stonework.

The structure contains 165 apartments spread across 12 floors, with separate lobbies in each of the four building sections and commercial spaces at street level.

Four massive iron gates guard the entries to an internal garden courtyard, where a circular driveway allows vehicles to pass through the building complex.
