Bridge No. 50, 50 Bridge Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 50 Bridge Street by Carter Horsley

This attractive, maroon-brick building stands 7-stories tall and houses 58 apartments. Situated at 50 Bridge Street, between Plymouth and Water street in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn, 365 Bond dates back to 1894 when it once housed the Kirkman & Son Soap Company. In 2004, it was converted to the condominium you see before you.

Bottom Line

Handsome loft apartments, close to the East River. High ceilings, a roof deck and a cobblestone lobby in a landmarked district in DUMBO.

Description

The top two floors of the building are setback.

A 2015 restoration of the building replaced a garage door with a very attractive, large, multi-paned window and gave the building a very handsome, large entrance surround with stepped capitals and top.

The building has a cobblestone lobby.

The windows are slightly arched.

It has some discrete air-conditioners.

Amenities

The building has a part-time doorman, a garage, a bicycle room, storage, a roof deck and a laundry. It also allows cats and dogs.
