A building that changed the architecture of New York City.
There is more to the history of The Clayton than the story of the building itself.
From the land that the building occupies, to the neighborhood that has evolved here, this part of Manhattan island has evolved over the centuries.
And for a young and little-known architect named Rosario Candela, the opportunity for his first solo commission - and the tallest residential building on New York's Upper West Side - would launch his career, begin a long-standing partnership with the developers who supported him, and shape the design of New York City apartments for generations.

From Dancers to Doctors, The Clayton has been home to many notable New Yorkers.
Since opening in 1922, The Clayton has been home to residents from across the artistic, cultural and professional spectrum. Broadway actors, award-winning writers, and more than a few professional pianists have lived here, as well as residents from just about every profession and corner of the globe.
In addition to the famous residents, there have also been some infamous ones as well - with plenty of drama and intrigue to their stories.
And throughout the Clayton's 100 years, the residents and building have been supported by the building staff who not only take care of the historic building, but are an integral part of The Clayton family.
