“His 10-room duplexes at 1220 Park Ave., completed in 1930, offered entertainment spaces on one floor and bedrooms on another. “If you entertain at home, 1220 Park Ave. provides the logical solution to the problem of finding an apartment best suited to your needs,” its sales brochure read.” How an immigrant with $20 to his name redefined the NYC luxury apartment By Zachary Kussin May 22, 2018

From Allan Chin on the Lost New York Facebook group: “Currently I live in Carnegie Hill, and there are six structures near me, the closest one being 1220 Park, and former governor Hugh Carey lived there, and I attended school with one of his sons. I don’t know when the Careys lived at #1220; as far as I remember they had their own home in Park Slope when he was elected governor in 1974.”
