10 Gracie Square

10 Gracie Square (sometimes spelled out as Ten Gracie Square) is a 1930–31 pre-war "white glove" co-op building constructed in Art Deco style.[1] It's located on East 84th Street on Manhattan's Upper East Side between East End Avenue and the FDR Drive.[2][3] It is one of only 42 "good buildings" in Manhattan as designated by Tom Wolfe, and is known for its sixteen-room triplexes.[4][5]

Prior to the construction of the FDR Drive, which eliminated its river access,[6] the building once had a residents' only yacht mooring on the East River.[7][8] Prior residents include: Brooke Astor, Frances Schreuder, Jean Stein, Madame Chiang Kai-shek and Gloria Vanderbilt.[9]
