The Prasada at 50 Central Park West in Manhattan, a luxury apartment house built between 1904 and 1907, and is a contributing building in the Central Park West Historic District. It cost $250,000 (the equivalent of more than $7 million in 2022). Originally, it contained only three luxury apartments per floor, an eight-room apartment at the rear and two ten-room apartments spanning the front, facing the Central Park. All the principal rooms throughout the building command an extended view of Central Park. Servants's rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, etc., were located facing the court. The building ranges round an open court, with stained-glass skylights that illuminate the lobby. The structure is a bold essay in the French Second Empire style and was one of three that established Central Park West as an avenue of tall apartment blocks, in this case of twelve storeys.Extensive alterations in 1919 removed the mansard roof that was a prominent feature when viewed from the park and provided more modern facilities.Residents and guests enter through an impressive recessed portico supported by four two-story banded pillars styled as Roman Doric columns. A dry moat separates the ground floor from pedestrian passers-by. The building was featured in the following films: Three Men and a Baby Lord of War
