History

The Wychwood was designed by the renowned Manhattan architectural firm of Schwartz and Gross in 1929. Many of the luxury buildings that line Manhattan's Park Avenue, Central Park West, West End Avenue, and Riverside Drive were also designed by the firm. The beautifully landscaped garden that is the centerpiece of the Wychwood building was designed by the team of Mann & MacNeille. 

The Wychwood was built in 1929 and has spacious 1, 2 & 3 bedroom apartments with formal wood-burning fireplaces and decorative mantel pieces, hardwood floors, enclosed sun porches -- overlooking the landscaped gardens which were designed by Mann & MacNeille.

In 1986 the building converted to cooperative ownership. Today the board of directors (elected annually by shareholders) continues to protect and preserve the integrity of the building as the luxury residence first envisioned by Schwartz and Gross over fifty years ago.
