Originally designed with Italian renaissance facades, the building was significantly altered in 1958 by architecture firm Sylvan Bien, who is best known for designing the nearby Carlyle Hotel. Bien's son, who oversaw the project, noted that the 'new, broader windows give much better views and let in more light,"There is on-site parking with special rate for shareholders, a gym, and 24-hour white-glove service and a separate attended service/freight elevator is accessible on each floor.
