The Majestic, Art Deco apartment building in Upper West Side, United States.
The Majestic is a residential building completed in 1931 at 115 Central Park West featuring twin towers and steel-frame construction. Its Art Deco style is expressed through vertical emphasis and simplified ornamentation across the facade.
The building was completed in 1931 following designs by architect Irwin Salmon Chanin, originally planned as a large hotel. The shift to smaller apartments happened due to economic pressures from the Great Depression.
The building served as home to entertainers and artists who shaped the city's cultural landscape across several decades. Its residents represented diverse fields of performance and creative work.
The building sits between 71st and 72nd Streets within the Central Park West Historic District and is easily accessible by public transportation. The location provides convenient access to parks and neighborhood shops in the Upper West Side.
A shooting incident occurred in the lobby in 1957 that brought the building into headlines and shaped its modern history. The event remains connected to the address and is part of the city's complex past.
