571 Hudson Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 571 Hudson Street by Carter Horsley

This attractive, 5-story building at 571 Hudson Street just north of 11th Street in the West Village was erected in 1911 and has 16 co-operative apartments. 

It is about half a block south of the very attractive Bleecker Playground on the east side of Hudson Street. 

It is convenient to numerous restaurants and not too far from the Whitney Museum of American Art and the south entrance to the High Line Elevated Park.

Bottom Line

This robust building is a bit taller than its low-rise neighbors and has an excellent location very close to one of the nicest small parks in the West Village, wood-burning fireplaces and unusual layouts.

Description

The brownstone façade of this handsome building has its nearly identical third and fourth floors sandwiched between the lower two floors, which have larger fenestration and the top floor which has small arched windows beneath an elaborate decorative cornice with five projecting piers. 

The lower three floors have rusticated pilasters and those on the third floor are narrower than those below. 

There are substantial bandcourses between the floors.

Amenities

The building has an elevator, some wood-burning fireplaces, some terraces and permits cats and dogs.
