212 Fifth Avenue, at West 26th Street, Manhattan, NY 10010. Schwartz & Gross designed the 1912–13 building for shops and offices. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission records it in the Madison Square North Historic District. The developer documents its later conversion to condominiums.

Start near the northwest corner of Madison Square Park for a wider view. Look for the arched entry and clustered windows on Fifth Avenue, then follow the sidewalk along West 26th Street toward Broadway, where the corner face is cut at an angle. This route uses public sidewalks. General interior access is unconfirmed.

The site was once home to a Delmonico’s restaurant and later Café Martin, both in the earlier building. The tower that replaced it initially housed several garment firms.
