The El Dorado, Art Deco skyscraper in Central Park West Historic District, United States
The El Dorado reaches 391 feet with twin towers rising from a 17-story base, featuring angular bronze archways at its entrance and tan brick facades.
Construction began in 1929 during the Wall Street Crash, leading to financial difficulties that resulted in foreclosure before the building's completion in 1931.
The building represents a transformation in Manhattan residential architecture, incorporating modern amenities while maintaining strict architectural standards of the 1920s.
The structure contains 163 residential units across 30 floors, offering residents access to a fitness center, doorman services, and direct views of Central Park.
Three decorative bronze archways mark the entrance, while sculpted finials crown the twin towers, creating a distinct silhouette against the Manhattan skyline.
