The Ansonia, Beaux-Arts apartment building in Upper West Side, Manhattan, United States

The Ansonia rises 18 floors with a limestone, granite, and white brick facade featuring turrets at its corners and light courts along each side.

French architect Paul Emile Duboy designed this residential hotel between 1899 and 1903 for William Earle Dodge Stokes, who named it after his grandfather.

The building attracted numerous musicians due to its large rooms and excellent acoustics, including tenor Enrico Caruso and composer Igor Stravinsky.

The structure contains 425 apartments, with some units maintaining rent-regulated status while others have been converted into condominiums.

During its early years, the building maintained a rooftop farm with various animals and included its own power plant and air-filtration system.
