The very handsome, 7-story building at 60 Lispenard Street in TriBeCa has been converted to 9 condominium apartments. It is across the street from the rear entrance to Pearl's Paint, whose main entrance is around the corner on Canal Street.
The building was erected in 1895 by former New York City mayor and shipping magnate William R. Grace. It has now been named "The Wanamaker," although the famous New York branch of the famous Philadelphia store, which was several blocks to the north on the northeast corner of Broadway and 9th Streets, burned down in 1956.
The apartments at 60 Lispenard have wood-burning fireplaces, cast-iron columns, central heating and air-conditioning, high ceilings, recessed lighting, and full-floor loft apartments of about 3,700-square feet and other units of 2,500 square feet.
The beige-brick building has a one-story rusticated limestone base with large arched windows on the 6th floor and smaller arched windows on the 7th floor. Floors 4 through 6 have lovely stone rosettes on the spandrels. The building, which has an elevator, is just west of a small parking lot, and a block and a half east of a park at Avenue of the Americas.
