Gainsborough Studios, Residential landmark building at 222 Central Park South, Manhattan, United States.
Gainsborough Studios is a 16-story residential building on Central Park South in Manhattan, clad in limestone with terracotta decorations and a bust of Thomas Gainsborough above its entrance. The facade features bas-reliefs and tile murals designed by notable artists of the era.
Built between 1907 and 1908 by architect Charles W. Buckham, the building originally functioned as a cooperative housing project for artists with 34 apartments. It received landmark status in 1988 and remains protected as a historic New York City structure.
The building was created specifically for artists, with high ceilings and large windows designed to provide the natural light they needed for their work. This design reflects how early 20th century New York understood and supported creative professionals.
The building provides underground parking access from West 58th Street for residents and visitors driving. Its location on Central Park South makes it easy to locate and view from the street.
Several apartments in the building feature duplex layouts with views of Central Park, providing artists with split-level living and working spaces. These double-story units offered extra room for studios and private areas within a single residence.
