1 Christopher Street is a 16 story, 125 apartment rental building completed in 1931 in Greenwich Village. Facing the garden that replaced the former Women’s House of Detention, the building has open views toward the Jefferson Market Courthouse and across the low rise blocks around Christopher Street.
Designed by Van War & Wein, the brown brick building has a two story limestone base and a canopied entrance. Its height and corner setting give it a prominent profile above the surrounding Village streets.
The apartment mix includes studios, alcove studios and one bedroom layouts, with some high floor alcoves adapted as junior one bedrooms. Many apartments have generous living areas, high or beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, substantial closet space and strong natural light. Separate windowed kitchens recur frequently, while private terraces and in-unit laundry appear in particular residences.
The building has a 24 hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, a laundry room, bike storage and shared outdoor space, and pets are permitted. Gay Street begins just west of the building, while the Stonewall Inn and Sheridan Square are one block farther along Christopher Street.
