Overview of The Machinery Exchange at 136 Baxter Street

The Machinery Exchange is a seven story, 11 unit condominium at 136 Baxter Street, originally built in 1915 as a stable for the Beaux Arts former Police Headquarters on Centre Street. It became the Grand Machinery Exchange warehouse in 1927, retaining the faded painted name on its red brick façade, and was converted to residential use in 2007 by Ohlhausen Dubois Architects with architect Ed Rawlings. A penthouse level was added during the conversion.

The residences retain the building’s industrial structure, including exposed brick, timber beams, cast iron columns and oversized warehouse windows. Ceiling heights range from roughly 10 to 14 feet, and the residential program extends from broad single level lofts to duplex and three level layouts. Hardwood floors, open kitchens, central air conditioning and separate laundry rooms recur in the homes.

The building has a 24 hour virtual doorman, package room, full time resident manager and deeded storage. Its Baxter Street entrance is one block north of Canal Street at the meeting point of Nolita, Little Italy and Chinatown, with SoHo immediately to the west. Actor Norman Reedus has been a resident.
