“A small museum and
headquarters for the Asia Society and Japan Society occupy the former site of
two brownstones [at 112 East 64 Street, Philip C. Johnson, architect, 1959]. The façade is tinted grey glass
outlined in white and is in its way as great a contrast with the existing
brownstone fronts as Edward Durrell Stone’s grilled residence on the same
street.”
