Vallo Residence
The project consists of the interior renovation of unit #4/5B in an existing 21-story co-op apartment building.
Built in 1929 and completed in 1930, the original building was designed by architect Harry M. Clawson of Caughey and Evans, the same architects who designed and built the Hampshire House. Originally built as a 22-story hotel, 322 East 57th Street was converted to a co-op in 1959. The building is known for its soaring double height living rooms and neo-Classical limestone facade.
Mr. Vallo still owns the apartment as of 2018.
