Review of 12 East 13th Street by Carter Horsley

This 12-story, mid-block apartment building at 12 East 13^th Street between Fifth Avenue and University Place in Greenwich Village is an attractive industrial-style building with a large, glass hunchback roof addition.

The former garage has 8 condominium apartments.

It was developed by DHA Capital and Continental Properties.

It was designed by Cetra Ruddy.
