720 Greenwich Street is a 1898 printing warehouse converted in 1989/1995 with block-through addresses at 124-130 Perry Street and 125-127 Charles Street — preserving original barrel-vaulted ceilings.
The building's character is rooted in its 1898 printing-warehouse provenance, an industrial past that survives in the residential conversion. That past also produced an unusual block-through configuration, with the Perry, Charles, and Greenwich Street addresses unified under one cooperative. Most evocative are the barrel-vaulted ceilings preserved from the original industrial fabric.
