The Cornwall, Art Nouveau apartment building in Upper West Side, Manhattan, US

The Cornwall rises twelve stories at 255 West 90th Street, featuring brick and stone details with an ornate terra-cotta cornice along its exterior walls.

The architectural firm Neville & Bagge completed this residential structure in 1909 during a period of rapid development in New York City's Upper West Side.

The building houses a ground-floor diner facing Broadway, reflecting the neighborhood's tradition of integrating residential spaces with local dining establishments.

Located at coordinates 40.7911° N and 73.9748° W, The Cornwall operates as a cooperative where residents share ownership of the building through purchased shares.

In 1991, residents invested substantial funds to replace the original cornice and balconies with terra cotta replicas, maintaining the structure's historical design.
