Carter's Review

The handsome, white 6-story building had two floors added as well as a complete recladding in red brick in 2011 leading Pete Davies as writer for ny.curbed.com to describe it in an August 30, 2011 article as “TriBeCa’s most hated.”

“The world basically recoiled in horror when the façade facelift on 365 Broadway was finally revealed after a mystery-laden renovation,” the article said.

“Where neo-Georgian details previously reigned,” the article continued, “a more pedestrian look now meets the street.  The broken pediment and urn over the main Broadway entrance are gone, replaced by broad space for signage, and dentil molding that lined the entablature is nowhere to be seen.  Multi-paned lunettes that topped the arched windows along Franklin Street are now filled in, replaced by semi-circular panels with a sunburst design.”

An October 5, 2010 article by the same writer at ny.curbed.com about the project noted that “gone at the arched windows, scroll work and big cornice that once topped this building that sits just outside the Tribeca East Historic district.”

The article also noted that “Way back when this site was home to one of the poshest spots in town, Taylor’s Saloon, the place to be seen in 1859 and known world wide for its opulence and good eats.”

The building, how 8 stories tall, has 28 rental apartments.

The building is also known as 365 Broadway and is on the northwest corner at Franklin Street.  It was erected in 1920 and the enlargement and recladding was undertaken by Robert Moezinia of Bridge Street Contracting of Brooklyn.  Klein Levin Associates of Brooklyn was listed as the architect for the project.

Bottom Line

This well-located TriBeCa building lost much of its charm in a recladding and enlargement in 2011 but it offers large layouts and a part-time doorman.
