Rosene Holding Corp. built Belvedere Gardens East in 1939-40 to plans by Seelig & Finkelstein, together with an identical six-story building, Belvedere Gardens West, back to back with it on 84th Street. A recessed entrance court splits the 85th Street front in two and doubles as a lightcourt. The neo-Georgian brick facade has Palladian top-floor windows, notched gables and balustrades, and both buildings share a rear garden with the Belvedere apartments on 35th Avenue.
“…the six-story Belvedere Gardens West (84th Street) and East (85th Street) are among the later apartment buildings erected in the historic district…”
