History
The Beaux-Arts luxury apartment building was designed by B. Stanley Simmons, for Lester A. Barr. The building has two wings: The first was built in 1905, and the second wing was constructed in 1911. In 1982, Barr's grandson sold the building for $6.3 million to developers, who converted it to condominiums.
The building is composed of 106 apartments, 76 in the South Wing and 30 in the North Wing. Betty Friedan, George Stephanopoulos, Christopher Hitchens and Dwight D. Eisenhower lived there.
Featured in book, The Lost Child of Philomena Lee, as the weekday residence of her son, who worked for the Republican National Committee, and his partner.
The Wyoming is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a contributing property to the Washington Heights Historic District.
