45 Christopher Street is one of only four prewar doorman condominium buildings in Greenwich Village — a 1931 Boak & Paris commission for Leo Bing's five-building Village development. The structural identity rests on three features.
First, the prewar-doorman-condominium scarcity — only four such buildings exist in Greenwich Village. Second, the Christopher Park / Stonewall Inn adjacency — the building's ground-floor shop windows were smashed during the Stonewall riots. Third, the recently renovated landscaped roof deck with 360-degree views — rare for a prewar Village building.
The maintenance includes electricity, heat, and hot water — unusual cost predictability.
