After the extensive damage to most properties in the South Street Seaport neighborhood, due to Superstorm Sandy, architect Joseph Pell Lombardi performed conservation work on the historic building which still featured original fluted cast iron columns with palmetto capitals. According to Lombardi, the building’s pitched roof, narrow lot and Flemish bond made it a superb example of the Seaport’s “counting house” style, which originated in English seaport cities. The building's original occupants were ship chandlers, sail makers, and merchants.
130 Beekman is surrounded by trendy restaurants, bars, cafes, shops and the newly-revamped Pier 17, and the East River Esplanade.
