About the building
50 White Street occupies the 48–50 White Street portion of the Woods Mercantile Buildings, developed by Samuel and Abraham Wood as commercial storehouses. The upper façade is marble, with a cast-iron ground floor, repeated window bays and projecting cornices. The complex's pediment carries its name and the date 1865. Its architecture reflects the area's nineteenth-century textile and dry-goods trade.
The cooperative has full-floor lofts reached by a keyed elevator, with broad living spaces, tall ceilings and windows at both ends. Interior partitions create varying bedroom and office arrangements. A later penthouse and mezzanine were added through signed-off DOB alterations, which also reconfigured the elevator shaft. In-home laundry and a part-time superintendent support the residential use of the former commercial building.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00193-0010) 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 exterior combines marble and cast iron under individual landmark protection. Repairs require material-specific work, and the small cooperative bears the cost of maintaining the historic façade. A purchaser should distinguish its stone-restoration obligations from ordinary brick pointing when assessing a proposed exterior project.

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.
