The Schumacher is, per public records, "one of the city's most spectacular and artistic residential conversions of a mid-rise commercial building" — a 2015 Morris Adjmi conversion of an 1885 Schumacher & Ettlinger Lithography building. Eat your hearts out, residents of 40 Bond Street."
The bones are pure 1885: an Edward E. Raht Romanesque Revival composition of "corbelled brick layering, ornamental overhangs, radiating lintels, some turrets and the 5th and 6th floors have arched windows." What distinguishes the building today is how that fabric was handled in the Morris Adjmi conversion with Higgins Quasebarth preservation — Adjmi went so far as to track down a Raht drawing of a pediment from a Union Club competition and use it to fashion a replacement. Crowning the result is the Ken Smith Workshop landscape, which developer Stillman likened to bringing "the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to Manhattan," its diagonal evergreen-and-clematis cables, two fountains, and a Jeff Koons sculpture from resident Alberto Mugrabi turning the courtyard into the building's signature.
