About the building
59 Barrow Street is an early-twentieth-century building whose later use as a marionette theater and workshop preceded its conversion to cooperative lofts. Julius J. Dieman designed it in 1908–1909. The building extends toward Commerce Street, giving it a deeper footprint than its Barrow Street frontage alone suggests. Its theater use belongs to the mid-twentieth-century history of the Village, when performance spaces and workshops occupied buildings subsequently adapted for residential ownership.
The apartments include full-floor lofts with tall windows, open living areas and ceilings rising above eleven feet. Several full-floor homes measure approximately 2,350 square feet. A combined lower residence extends between Barrow and Commerce Streets, joining spaces that had previously been separate apartments. Upper homes have the broad interior volumes of the former nonresidential building, with bedroom partitions arranged within those floor plates. Elevator access and basement storage support the small cooperative.

What to know if you’re buying
Apartment combinations affect the ownership structure. The large lower home joins several former apartments, so its share allocation and maintenance obligations need to follow the combined premises. With seven residences carried in city records, the allocation of common costs across the surviving homes has a direct effect on each owner's contribution to building work.

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.
