About The Jefferson, 55 East 9th Street
Built in 1965, this large midblock building has an excellent location close to Washington Square Park, New York University and Cooper Union, and public transportation.
The 14-story building, which extends through to Eighth Street where it has retail frontage, was converted to a cooperative in 1984. It has 174 apartments.
The facade of the white-brick building has a horizontal emphasis and an interesting massing due to its terraces and tower, which has angled corner windows. The building has very broad windows and an impressive lobby.
In addition to two different subway lines nearby, Ninth Street is a westward cross-town bus route and northbound Madison Avenue buses come down the street and turn north at University Place. The neighborhood abounds in restaurants, boutiques, antique stores and many enterprises catering to the large student population of the area.
