Building: 297 Church Street

Built in 1870 and designed by architect William T. Bure, 297 Church Street is a striking example of French Second Empire architecture, seamlessly blending historic grandeur with modern luxury. This five-story, marble-clad masterpiece is distinguished by its intricately carved Doric pilasters, cast-iron storefront, and a regal cornice crowned with an arched pediment, making it one of Tribeca’s most visually captivating buildings.

Originally home to high-end textile firms such as Nacht & Co. and Delphi Mills, which specialized in luxury cotton goods and surplus denim post-World War I, this address has long been associated with quality and craftsmanship. By the late 20th century, 297 Church became part of Tribeca’s transformation, welcoming gourmet institutions like Barocco Alimentari, a beloved destination for artisanal breads and fine foods.

Today, this iconic building offers a boutique residential experience, where historic elegance meets contemporary living. Residents enjoy soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and meticulously designed interiors that reflect the artistic and luxurious spirit of the neighborhood. Positioned at the corner of Church and Walker, this exclusive address provides unparalleled access to Tribeca’s renowned dining, shopping, and cultural institutions.

A rare opportunity to live in a meticulously preserved piece of New York City history—welcome to 297 Church Street.
