Building: 3 Weehawken Street

3 and 5 Weehawken Street

In 1928 architect Mortimer C Merritt (more known for designing the cast iron fronted O’Neill & Co Department store on 655 Sixth Av), was commissioned to build this 5 story red and white brick building.

An August 1929 advertisement for the building listed: “A few apartments, 1-2-3 rooms, kitchenette and bath; $50 to $75; lease; all modern improvements; roof garden with Hudson River panorama.”

Converted to condominiums in 2005. The facade of this Italianate Colonial Revival-style building is decorated with arched windows and cast-iron lintels and sills.

The studio and one-bedroom apartments range in size from 341 to 526 square feet with two apartments per floor per building.
Most of the 20 units in this walk up building feature exposed brick, wood burning fireplaces, crown moldings and river views.

Part of the Weehawken Street Historic District designated in 2006.
