The Osborne is one of the pioneers
Of the Fifty seventh Street district. 1t
followed the building of the Spanish
Flats" on the block to the north, and
there was none better than the Fifty

Even before housings in this city were
limited, the Osborne had a full ten
antry.
Like apartment construction of its
period, the suites are large, each con-
tanning many rooms of extreme size.
It is the plan of the syndicate to re-
duce the size OF the rooms and suites
TO modern dimensions, substituting two
and three room apartments for seven,
eight and larger.
The building covers q site ITS feet
in Fifty-seventh Street and 100 feet on
