A mid-rise prewar co-op in Madison by a prolific New York architect
The seven-story, brick building known as The Brevoort debuted in 1953, marketing for the project promised a “modern elevator apartment building” with TV outlets in each unit, General Electric oversized refrigerators with across-the-top freezers and colored tile and plumbing fixtures. For the most part, those elements are gone. But the spacious rooms off of foyers, large closets and cross- or through-ventilation remain.
The 108-unit co-op is one of the many apartment buildings in the New York City area designed by architect Julius Fishkind. A graduate of New York University, Fishkind started his career at age 26 and in just 20 years designed more than 50 buildings in a variety of architectural styles in areas as far-reaching as Rego Park, Forest Hills, Kensington and Yonkers. His prolific career was cut short in 1955 when he died of a heart attack at the age of 46, but not before he became one of 22 founding members, president and architect of Temple Emanuel in Great Neck, Long Island.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
