165 West 57th Street, Renaissance Revival school building in Midtown Manhattan, United States.

The five-story structure at 165 West 57th Street features an asymmetrical facade with classical Greek and Roman elements across its white limestone exterior.

Built in 1916 for dance instructor Louis H. Chalif, the building originally contained a dance school, event spaces, and residential quarters for its owner.

The second floor housed Carl Fischer Hall, which served as a performance venue where musicians and artists gathered for concerts and cultural events.

Located between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, the building now functions as an educational facility for IESE Business School, offering modern learning spaces.

The facade displays a distinctive diamond pattern at the second and third stories, complemented by intricate terracotta moldings and theatrical decorative elements.
