The widow of John Gutfreund, dubbed "The King of Wall Street" and former CEO of Saloman Brothers investment bank until a trading scandal forced his resignation in 1991, is apparently looking to down-size after her husband's death last month.

The apartment was decorated with the guidance of the legendary designer Henri Samuel whose influence can be seen especially in the Winter Garden, a reception room at the southwest corner of the entrance level.

The building is one of Manhattan's most prestigious addresses. Designed by architect Rosario Candela in 1929, it was completed in 1931.

There are twenty four apartments on 16 floors with luxurious, well thought out, floor plans. It is thought that the building's board requires that sales are all cash; no mortgages are allowed.
