476 Broadway: Review and Ratings

Review of 476 Broadway by Carter Horsley

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.

Description

The top floor has arched windows beneath the large cornice. 

The entrance is very handsome with 2-story-high Ionic columns flanking a large shop bay window.

The building has a roof deck, a storage facility and a full-time superintendent.
