About the building
The Kathryn is a purpose-built apartment house on Garden Place's single residential block. George E. Lovett filed its construction plans in 1900, with Clarence Cutler designing the bow-fronted brick and limestone building. The name remains above an entrance framed by Ionic columns. Its original flats layout is documented in a 1902 housing record, with living rooms toward one end and kitchens and dining rooms toward the other.
The cooperative contains four full-floor residences. The broad apartments include three-bedroom layouts with separate dining rooms, and surviving details include mantels, built-in cabinetry, pocket doors and picture rails. Renovated homes have in-unit laundry, and basement storage supplements the apartments. The building is a walk-up, with street-facing bow windows and rear outlooks over the interior of the block.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-00262-0019) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

What to know if you’re buying
Four residences share an ornamental masonry exterior. Repairing the limestone entrance or bow-front façade is a cooperative expense, with the work subject to landmark review. The cost allocation follows shares, which need not divide a project into four equal bills.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
