998 Fifth Avenue, Renaissance apartment building on Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, United States.
998 Fifth Avenue is a twelve-story residential building with classical stone facades and ornate details overlooking Central Park. The structure combines generous windows with Renaissance ornamentation, forming a distinctive example of upscale residential architecture along Fifth Avenue.
The architectural firm McKim, Mead & White completed this residence in 1912 during a period of intense urban growth in Manhattan. The building was part of a wave of spacious apartment houses that shaped New York's cityscape during that era.
The building shows how New York adopted European architectural styles and transformed them into its own residential design language. Renaissance elements were used here not as historical quotations but as part of establishing a modern urban identity.
The building sits in close proximity to museums, parks, and public transportation providing good connectivity. Visitors should note that this is a private residential building with limited access, though the exterior view from the street is worth seeing.
Each floor contains only two apartments, making this one of the earliest examples of large-scale luxury residence in New York. This generous layout was unusual for its time and shows how upscale living was designed.
