Overview of The Hohner Building at 48 Mercer Street

The Hohner Building is an eight story, 30 unit pre-war condominium at 473 Broadway, built in 1894 as a textile and rug showroom. Ralph Townsend designed the through block structure, whose sixth floor once housed harmonica manufacturer M. Hohner.

Joseph Pell Lombardi directed the 2004 residential conversion, adding setback penthouses with approval from the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The Broadway elevation has a limestone façade, rustication across the third and fourth floors, horizontal stringcourses and a reproduction of the original copper cornice; the Mercer Street side is plainer.

The conversion retained the building’s loft scale. Apartments commonly have expansive open rooms, high ceilings, oversized windows and fireplaces, with several residences reaching approximately 13 to 14 feet in height. Floor through plans, multiple exposures and in-unit laundry recur among the homes.

Duplex lofts occupy the setback penthouse level and open onto private terraces, while several nonpenthouse residences have balconies or courtyard terraces. The building also has a rooftop terrace and intercom, and pets are allowed.
