257 Central Park West, Apartment building along Central Park West in Manhattan, United States
257 Central Park West is a twelve-story residential building in Manhattan featuring classical Beaux-Arts design elements across its facade. The building includes three elevators and occupies the southwest corner of Central Park West and 86th Street.
Monticello Realty Company commissioned architects Mulliken & Moeller to design this residential building, which opened in January 1906. The structure was later converted into Hotel Peter Stuyvesant and served guests until 1967.
The building functioned as Hotel Peter Stuyvesant and hosted ballroom dancing instructors who taught classes to residents and guests. This dancing culture shaped the character of the place for many years and remains part of its identity today.
The building sits at the southwest corner of 86th Street and Central Park West, right next to the subway station serving the A, B, and C trains. This location provides easy access to public transportation and direct views toward Central Park.
The building housed composer Ernest Bloch, actress Bea Arthur, and classical pianist Artur Schnabel among its residents. These notable artistic figures made the address their home during their careers in New York.
