Carter's Review

The very elegant and prominent 11-story loft building at 476 Broadway between Broome and Grand Streets in SoHo was erected in 1904 and now has 16 co-operative apartments. 

The mid-block building, which is also known as 38 Crosby Street, is distinguished by its very handsome, two-story-high Ionic columns flanking a large shop bay window and its large cornice.

Bottom Line

This prominent building was for several years an important venue for avant-garde performances by such artists as Dave Brubeck, Martha Graham and Laurie Spiegel and its past residents included artists Bruce Nauman and Susan Rothenberg.
