The Robbins & Appleton Building, located at 1 Bond Street, was originally constructed in 1880 as the headquarters for the American Waltham Watch Company, founded by Daniel F. Appleton and Henry A. Robbins. This historic building, designed by architect Stephen Decatur Hatch, showcases a striking Second Empire-style architecture with a brick and cast iron façade. It was converted into a luxury condominium in 1987 and is now home to 19 unique residential units. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and features a storefront occupied by Blick Art Materials, making it a notable landmark in the NoHo neighborhood.

Residents of the Robbins & Appleton Building enjoy a variety of apartment layouts, many of which boast high ceilings, original cast iron columns, and large windows that provide ample natural light. Notable units include a triplex with a 32-foot-long roof deck and a spacious two-bedroom loft with a 14-foot-long open kitchen. The apartments are designed for both comfort and functionality, featuring modern amenities such as in-unit laundry, high-end appliances, and smart home features, while retaining historic charm.
