    Architect F. Burrell Hoffman designs 136 East 79th Street as a 14-story co-op with 25 homes

    The cooperative at 136 East 79th Street was built in 1928 to designs by the architect F. Burrell Hoffman, according to a broker's listing. The building rises 14 stories and holds 25 homes. It has a 24-hour staff, a live-in resident manager, a gym, wine and bicycle storage, and a landscaped communal garden. The same listing's data table gives the year built as 1929, so the sources differ by a year.
