Carter's Review

This attractive, 6-story, red-brick building was erected in 1886 by Gustavus Isaacs as a factory.  It was converted to 24 residential condominiums in 1983 and there are now 22 units.

It is one block east of Westbeth and convenient to the High Line, the Hudson River and the Meatpacking district.

It is known as Pickwick House.

Philip Seymour Hoffman, the actor, was found dead in his 4^th floor apartment in the building in 2014.

Bottom Line

One of the larger, red-brick buildings of the Far West Village on a quiet street that is convenient to the relocated Whitney Museum of American Art, the High Line and many restaurants.

Description

The building has a simple architecture of multi-paned windows, a red-brick façade, a modest cornice with a center pediment section and a one-story, black-painted base with a two-step-up entrance.

Amenities

The building has a laundry and allows pets.
