Featured Historic Entrance Project
4 Lexington Avenue
Gramercy, Manhattan
Project overview
Jepol Construction improved the monumental entrance at 4 Lexington Avenue with an accessible approach, carefully detailed railings, and work coordinated around the ornate historic doors.
The project balances present-day access requirements with an architecturally significant entry. New circulation elements were kept visually restrained, while close-up photography preserves the craftsmanship of the decorative metal, wood, and historic entrance composition.

Project scope
Historic entrance
The completed street-level work frames the original arched doorway without competing with its scale or detail. Multiple perspectives show the entry, stairs, and new railings as one coordinated composition.
Project scope
Ornamental craftsmanship
Close views highlight the layered decorative metalwork, gilded accents, patterned doors, and arched grille that define the entrance. These details provide essential context for the restrained new work around them.
Project scope
Accessible approach
A new ramp, access platform, and bronze-toned railings provide a clear approach to the entrance. The alignment and finish tie the accessibility improvements back to the building's existing material palette.
