#21 Rated condo - East Village

How was this building rated?

This very pleasant, red-brick building was erected in 1900 and converted to a condominium in 1986. The six-story building was 44 apartments.

A rather eclectic Romanesque Revival-style structure, it has a remarkably powerful façade for such a small building. The ground floor has gray-blue retail frontage. The second floor has red-brick rustication, topped by a wide bandcourse. The third floor windows have white stone caps and the fifth floor windows are very large arches divided in two. Interestingly, the red-brick piers between the pairs of windows rises from the third fourth half up the fourth floor where they become the base of the large arches. This architectural ploy is quite successful in lending vertically to this rather squat structure, while also adding considerably visual interest.

The four floor is topped by a thin bandcourse and the fifth floor has small arched windows that are considerably below the building's cornice that has a middle section that rises above and slightly over its wings and is stopped by a pyramidal enclosure.

The building's tight and unusual façade composition expresses great strength, while the arched windows and unusual roofline assert a good degree of elegance and individual, all trademarks of the very high degree of architectural design of commercial buildings in the city in the period between the World's Colombian Exposition of 1983 and prior to World War I.

Located on the north side of the street between Third and Fourth Avenue, this building is close to the Strand Bookstore, Union Square, and Grace Episcopal Church on Broadway and 10th Street.

This neighborhood has many restaurants and boutiques and excellent public transportation.

In the 1940s and early 1950s, this area was famed for its many bookstores and auction houses. Following the renaissance of Union Square due to the completion of Zeckendorf Towers in 1987, the area has undergone a significant upgrading.

While much of the rejuvenation spurred by the Zeckendorf projec...
