Park Avenue Designer Residence. 863 Park is an early pre-war building on Park Avenue, in fact it was the first residential building on Park Avenue erected above 57th Street. Built in 1907 in a Neoclassical style with beaux-arts detailing, it is an outstanding example of fine architecture on Park Avenue with its deep classical cornice and its limestone clad stone plinth/quoining at the base of building, which set it apart from the other brick buildings surrounding.
