Located between Park and Lexington Avenues, 35 East 79th has a façade comprised of custom-pigmented hand-laid Indiana limestone and brick; chat-sawn finish gives natural texture to the limestone coining. Flanking the double-height arched entrance are matching 22-foot tall espaliered pear tree sculptures hand-modeled by William Sofield. The street-level window grilles are antiques made by the firm that fabricated the gates for Buckingham Palace.
