About the building
Hugh M. Reynolds designed this corner house as part of a row completed in February 1891. Its curved tower, arched attic openings, corbeled parapet and slate mansard roof give the corner a distinctive outline. LPC documents a ground-floor speakeasy, the Silver Dollar Cafe, later renamed the Seven-Two-One Club, operating from approximately 1925 to 1964. The residential condominium conversion reached individual sales in 2017.
The full-floor inventory includes one- and two-bedroom residences, with windows on three sides, in-unit laundry and central air conditioning. The rounded corner forms a curved living area. The top residence has a private roof deck, while a separate commercial space occupies the lower portion of the property.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Full closing history with price-per-square-foot over time, the complete retrade record, and every line that has traded.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-02060-7503) 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
Four homes share a landmark with commercial ownership. Exterior repairs involve LPC approval and a cost allocation that includes the commercial component. The residential owners form a very small voting group, and lenders may examine both project size and commercial use when reviewing financing. The roof-deck home's exclusive use also needs to be read alongside the building's responsibility for its roof.

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.
