Overview
Built in 1904, The Ansonia is one of New York’s most distinctive Beaux-Arts buildings, instantly recognizable by its corner turrets and elaborate ornamentation. Originally a hotel, it converted to condominiums in the 1990s, offering an unusual mix of pre-war charm and condo convenience. Interiors vary widely — some retain turn-of-the-century detailing, while others have been modernized into loft-like spaces. The building’s dramatic architecture and storied past make it a favorite for buyers who value character and history.
