225 West 99th Street, on Amsterdam Avenue. Designed by Robert W. Gibson and constructed in 1891. The AIA guide doesn't have much to say except for noting its somber-ness and the fact that there are mosaics and Tiffany glass windows inside. This building was heard at the Landmarks Preservation Commission to have it designated as an individual landmark about a year ago and no decision has been made yet. (That was drawn from my own knowledge, not that of the AIA guide. More of their stuff on page 353.)
HOW TO GET THERE: Take the 1, 2, or 3 to 96th Street. Walk north three blocks and east one block.
