25 Central Park West   Unit 17N

One of the citys most famous residential buildings, The Century is a 1931 Art Deco condominium on Central Park West. It was designed by Irwin Chanin to replace The Century Theatre, a performing arts venue, from which the apartment building derives its name. One of only three condominium buildings on Central Park West south of 88th Street (the others are Trump International Hotel and Tower and 15 Central Park West), The Century together with The Majestic, The San Remo, The Beresford, and The El Dorado contributes to the unique skyline of Central Park West. It was included in the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and was designated a New York City Landmark in 1985. At the time, the Landmarks Commission praised it for its sophisticated essay in Art Deco design exhibiting a complex balance of horizontal and vertical elements.
