111 Barrow Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 111 Barrow Street by Carter Horsley

The attractive, 8-story building at 111 Barrow Street in the West Village was erected as the Vita Herring factory loft building in 1920 and converted to a cooperative residential building in 1987.

It has 39 apartments and is close to the Hudson River and St. Luke’s School.
