299 West 12th Street ca. 1932

Built in 1929-31, this 16-story apartment house is clad in multi-colored brick set in Flemish bond creating an interesting texture to the exterior. Randomly cut and placed stones of varying colors are placed at the window and door openings and at the corners of the building. Along with 59 West 12th Street, this was one of two collaborations between Emery Roth and the development team of Bing & Bing and exemplified the elegant interwar style of New York apartment building for which both came to be known.
