This quite distinguished, Italian-Renaissance-palazzo style building was erected in 1910 and converted to a cooperative apartment building in 1979. The 12-story building has 38 apartments.

With a two-story rusticated limestone base, rusticated masonry quoins, some arched windows on the top floor, a large cornice and a highly articulated facade, this building is typical of the great elegance of many of the commercial buildings that were erected up Broadway in the early years of the 20th Century.

This building is one of the scores of excellent commercial buildings that were erected up Broadway but which fell into serious decay and neglect after World War I as many commercial establishments began to migrate to midtown and these wonderful buildings were taken over as commercial lofts.

This building is convenient to the City Hall district and is also close to SoHo, TriBeCa and Chinatown and all of the many attractions in those very lively districts. This area of Broadway still has a mix of units that includes many older commercial uses, but the architectural merits of such buildings will inevitably lead to their renaissance.

This building has no doorman, no sidewalk landscaping, no garage, no health club and no balconies, but high ceilings and quality.
