740 Park Avenue, Art Deco apartment building in Lenox Hill, Manhattan, US.
The 19-story limestone structure at 740 Park Avenue contains 31 residences, including duplexes, triplexes, and penthouses spread across its floors.
James T. Lee, grandfather of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, developed this residential building in 1929, during the onset of the Great Depression.
The building represents the architectural vision of Rosario Candela, who designed numerous residential structures along Park Avenue during the 1920s.
Residents benefit from 24-hour doorman service, concierge assistance, private entrances, and a fitness center within walking distance to Central Park.
John D. Rockefeller Jr. established the building's reputation by moving into a duplex in 1937, which later sold for 30 million dollars in 2000.
