The Opera boasts a truly unique history that adds depth and character to this distinguished Upper West Side address. Designed by the architectural firm Tilion & Tilion and completed in 1930, the building was originally conceived as a striking neo-Gothic structure that combined a church sanctuary with the Manhattan Towers Hotel, reflecting both civic and residential aspirations of its era. Over the decades, the property adapted to changing needs — serving as Navy housing during World War II and later functioning as a single-room-occupancy hotel — before being thoughtfully converted into a cooperative in 1980, preserving its architectural heritage while creating a vibrant community of private homes.
