Review of 237 Lafayette Street by Carter Horsley

This 12-story building at 237 Lafayette Street between Prince and Spring Streets in NoLiTa between was erected in 1911 and converted to a 20-unit co-operative apartment building in 1975.


 

Bottom Line

This tall loft building has a prime NoLiTa location very close to SoHo and many restaurants and boutiques and two subway stations.


 

Description

The beige-brick building has a three-story black-metal base and fire-escapes and is a few doors south of a fire station and half a block north of Petrosino Park.

The building has arched windows on the top floor and a bandcourse above the 10th floor.

It permits protruding air-conditioners.


 

Amenities

It is pet-friendly but has no roof deck, no garage, no doorman and permits window air-conditioners.


 

Apartments

Apartment 8W is a two-bedroom unit with a 27-foot-wide “media area” that that opens onto a 16-foot-long dining area with an open 16-foot-long, pass-through kitchen and a 31-foot-long living room.


 

History

The building is famous as the name of a bright and attractive artwork of 12-inch enameled squares by Jennifer Bartlett (1970-2011) who lived in the building.
