The Rambusch Building, 40 West 13th Street: Review and Ratings
between Fifth Avenue & Avenue of the Americas View Full Building Profile
The distinctive, 8-story Rambusch Building at 40 West 13th Street in Greenwich Village was occupied by the Rambusch Design Studio, which made stained glass and also worked on the interiors of the Roxy Theater on 50th Street, from 1898 to 1999.
The building was converted to 7 condominium apartments by Affirmative Equities of 120 Wooster Street and the conversion was designed by David B. Culter of Hustvedt Culter Architects.
It is a little east of the very impressive Jade Hotel on the block and there are many restaurants in the vicinity and good public transportation.

The building’s angled plan stems from its historic location next to Minetta Brook.
