Built between 1896 and 1928 and now a designated historical landmark, The Beaux Arts quintet of 30 Morningside—four pavilion towers and central carriage house— were originally designed by noted architect Ernest Flagg in eclectic turn-of-the-century French style with classical lines and symmetry accented with bravura gothic flourishes.
