Overview of 174 Pacific Street

174 Pacific Street, originally constructed between 1888-1892 as Public School 78, is a distinguished Victorian-style building in Brooklyn's Cobble Hill Historic District. The building served educational purposes for nearly a century, including time as the Louis Hirsch Memorial Jewish Education Center in the 1970s, before being converted to 26 cooperative apartments in 1984 by the Arker Company.

The building's architectural significance is marked by its elaborate roof cornice with gables and central tower, featuring a truncated slate roof. Notable exterior elements include multi-paned fenestration, strong stone window accents, rusticated details, and the original 'P.S. 78' engraving above the portico. The structure maintains its historic character while accommodating modern residential use.

The conversion created uniquely configured apartments, many featuring soaring 14-foot ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, and distinctive layouts that take advantage of the building's original schoolhouse architecture. Units range from creative triplexes to loft-style apartments, some incorporating original architectural elements like skylights and exposed beams.

Residents enjoy amenities including an elevator, central air-conditioning, bicycle storage, and private parking spaces in an adjacent lot. The building's location between Clinton and Court Streets places it in the heart of historic Cobble Hill, near transportation options and local amenities including Trader Joe's and the shops of Atlantic Avenue.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
