This 12-story building at 237 Lafayette Street between Prince and Spring Streets in NoLiTa between was erected in 1911 and converted to a 20-unit co-operative apartment building in 1975.

The building has arched windows on the top floor and a bandcourse above the 10th floor.

It permits protruding air-conditioners.

History

The building is famous as the name of a bright and attractive artwork of 12-inch enameled squares by Jennifer Bartlett (1970-2011) who lived in the building.
