This imposing, six-story apartment building at 180 Franklin Street sits between India and Java streets in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn. The structure was erected in 1885 and according to its landmark designation by the city, it was "one of the most important 19th Century apartment houses in New York City."
It is also one of the earliest model housing projects for the working class, boasting features which were a radical departure from the contemporary standards set for workers' housing. These days, it's a conveniently located rental building known as The Astral with 1-bedroom rentals listed from $1,785/month. Corcoran handles leasing and also has 2-bedroom units for $2,150/month; see the listings here.
