The O'Neill Building, an architectural landmark at 655 Sixth Avenue between West 20th and 21st Streets, was originally constructed in 1887 as Hugh O'Neill's Dry Goods Building. Designed by Mortimer C. Merritt, it stands as the oldest and most distinguished of the major department stores that once lined Ladies' Mile, the historic retail district along Sixth Avenue. The building's distinctive cast-iron façade features Corinthian columns, ornate architectural details, and its signature beehive-style domes atop almost cylindrical towers at both corners.
The structure's history reflects the evolution of the neighborhood - from retail glory to manufacturing use by the 1920s. The original four-story building received a fifth-floor addition in 1895, and the iconic domes were removed in the early 20th century. In 2003, Elad Properties acquired the property for $37 million and undertook an ambitious conversion project.
Completed in 2007, the conversion by developer Miki Naftali and architects Cetra/Ruddy transformed the historic structure into 49 luxury condominiums while restoring the building's distinctive domes. The renovation included a two-story rooftop addition, made possible through an agreement with the Congregation of Shearith Israel, owners of the adjacent cemetery.
Today, the seven-story luxury condominium offers full-service amenities including 24-hour doorman service, concierge, and a 4,000-square-foot landscaped roof deck with outdoor kitchen and dining areas. The building's prewar character is preserved in its soaring ceiling heights, oversized windows, and architectural details, while residences feature modern luxury finishes.
The building's location in Chelsea places it at the intersection of several desirable neighborhoods including the Flatiron District and Greenwich Village. Residents enjoy proximity to numerous restaurants, shopping options including Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, and excellent public transportation access.
The O'Neill Building falls within the Ladies' Mile Historic District, designated in 1989, and stands across from the landmarked Church of the Holy Communion complex. Its historic façade was painted white to resemble stone, and the building's name remains emblazoned in relief on its pediment, serving as a reminder of its significant role in New York City's commercial history.
