The Beckenstein is a six story pre war rental building at 130 Orchard Street in the Lower East Side, with 18 apartments. Originally built as a three story structure for the New York Telephone Company in 1902, it was expanded around 1920, when the fabric and interior decorating company S. Beckenstein became its principal occupant. The red brick façade still carries the company’s painted horizontal and two story vertical signs, although S. Beckenstein left the building in 1999.
The upper floors were later converted to rental apartments, many organized as lofts, duplexes, or mezzanine layouts. Ceiling heights range from about 10 feet to more than 20 feet, and apartments commonly have oversized windows, open kitchens, and in unit washers and dryers. Private balconies and terraces recur among the residences, including small cast iron railed balconies on the upper Orchard Street façade.
The building has a roof deck with views toward downtown and uptown, along with additional outdoor space and permitted pets. The Lower East Side setting places the building near the restaurants, bars, and cultural venues around Orchard, Rivington, and Delancey Streets. Delancey Street station serves the F train, while the nearby Essex Street station serves the J, M, and Z trains.
