1049 5th Avenue is a 23-floor luxury condominium apartment building located in the Upper East Side, New York City. Built in 1928 as the ''Adams Hotel'', the building underwent extensive renovation in its conversion to residential condominiums during the years 1990-1993. When the apartments were first offered for sale in 1991, they were the highest-priced residential apartments ever offered for sale in New York City. Their sale prices set city records in 1993 and 1994. ==History== 1049 5th Avenue was built in 1928 as the ''Adams Hotel'', a beige-brick structure comprising 23 stories. Built in the style of pre-war Functionalism, the appearance of the building has never been considered particularly distinguished.〔 The ''Adams Hotel'' was the last residence of Hector Guimard, the main representative of Art Nouveau in France. He died in this building May 20th, 1942. The structure is situated on the Upper East Side, in the area of the city known as Museum Mile. It occupies the block bounded by Madison and Fifth Avenues and 86th and 85th Streets.〔 It is adjacent to and relates architecturally with the former ''Croyden Hotel'', now rental apartments, that occupies the remainder of the block to Madison Avenue.〔 In 1990, 1049 5th Avenue was purchased by Jack C. Heller of Heller Macaulay Equities, Inc. and converted into 54 (now 45) luxury condominiums averaging each.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1049 5th Avenue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
