The Jackson Foundry Lofts at 130 Jackson Street and 364 Manhattan Avenue represents a notable architectural conversion in East Williamsburg. Originally constructed in 1865 as a Civil War munitions factory and later serving as a book depository, the property was transformed into residential condominiums in 2007 by developer Penson Horrigan LLC, with Standard Architects' Michael Shapiro leading the design.
The complex consists of two connected buildings housing 21 units total, featuring a distinctive blend of red-brick and white façades. The conversion preserved numerous historical elements, including exposed timber columns, rolling fire doors, wooden ceiling beams, and original brick walls. The buildings are distinguished by handsome glass-and-metal entrance marquees, with one incorporating the building's name into its outer girder.
The residences range from single-floor units to duplexes, some featuring private backyards with preserved smokestacks. Building amenities include a roof deck, elevator, and video security. Located in a vibrant section of East Williamsburg, the property sits near McCarren Park and the Graham Avenue L train station, offering convenient access to the neighborhood's dining and cultural attractions.
