History
[edit]620 Park Avenue was designed by J.E.R. Carpenter, who also designed 625 Park Avenue across the avenue; and constructed by Starrett Brothers construction in 1924. It features a limestone facade on the two lowest floors and a brick exterior for the upper 13 floors. It is a 15-story building featuring just 15 units each composed of a full floor. In recent years, it has become known for its conservative and often exclusionary co-op board and is known to avoid famous or notorious residents.
