Carter's Review

One of the older buildings on this architecturally famous street, 50 Bond Street between Lafayette Street and The Bowery was built in 1897 and designed by Cleverdon and Putzel.

The attractive, seven-story Classical Revival building has six condominium apartments.

Bottom Line

This late 19th Century building offers large loft apartments on one of the city’s most desirable cobblestone streets in the heart of NoHo.

Description

The building has a two-story limestone base with two-story piers with palmette-decorated capitals and polished granite bases.

The second floor has grouped windows separated by chamfered piers with lion-head decorations at the base.

There is an entablature decorated with wreaths, egg-and-dart and denticulated moldings.

There third through the fifth floors are brick and the course above the fifth floor has an overlaid alternating pattern of “I” and “+”.

The 6th and 7th floors have two-story terracotta Ionic columns and an historic arcaded parapet.

The cornice has been removed and replaced with cement stucco.

The building is in the NoHo Historic District Extension.

Apartments

The duplex penthouse has four bedrooms with 3,387 square feet of interior space and 2,028 square feet of outdoor space.  The apartment has central air-conditioning and radiant heated walnut hardwood floors.  The windowed kitchen opens to the living room. The upper level has a large, angled guest bedroom with canted inwards window walls and a very large terrace.

The fifth floor unit has three bedrooms, a 26-foot-long living room with an adjoining and open 26-foot-long dining room that is open to a 15-foot-long TV area across from the 12-foot-long open kitchen with an island, a 12-foot-long laundry room, a 24-foot-long master bathroom and an 11-foot-wide den with a wood-burning fireplace.

The fourth floor unit has a 19-foot-long dining area, a 28-foot-long “formal lounge” with fireplace, a 12-foot-wide open kitchen with an island, two bedrooms, an 11-foot-long laundry room and a 16-foot-long master bedroom with a 10-foot-long open sitting room and a small terrace and a 20-foot-long master bathroom.

The third floor is a three-bedroom unit that has an entry foyer that opens onto a 52-foot-long great room with a fireplace and a dining area across from a 12-foot-wide open kitchen with an island.  There is an 11-foot-long laundry room and the 22-foot-long master bedroom has a terrace.

History

Beginning in 1929, the building was occupied by businesses including hat and cap manufacturers, rag dealers and furniture and tool and die companies. 

Beginning in the mid-1970s, vacant spaces were occupied by residential tenants and subsequently the building was converted to a condominium with joint live/work space for artists above ground-floor commercial space.
