About the building
50 Walker Street is an Italianate store-and-loft building designed by Robert Griffith Hatfield for Josiah Lane and constructed in 1857–1859. Its original five-story composition combined a stone front with a cast-iron storefront made by the Architectural Iron Works. A sixth floor was added in 1900–1901 by J. F. Kelly & Co. for cotton merchant John Boyle. The building later converted to residential ownership, with cooperative apartments above its commercial space.
The present homes include loft flats and penthouses with private outdoor areas. Keyed elevator access opens into the residential interiors, which retain the broad rooms and tall windows of the commercial floor plates. The condominium structure contains four separately assessed tax lots, while the residential inventory comprises seven cooperative homes.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00194-7501) 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
The apartment purchase is a co-op share transaction. The condop structure separates the residential cooperative from other condominium interests. Financing and board approval therefore follow the residential corporation's requirements, while costs shared with commercial space also depend on the condominium's allocation provisions. The presence of condominium tax lots does not make each apartment a separately deeded condo.

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.
