Building: 41 Warren Street

Located on the south side of Warren between West Broadway and Church Street, 41-43 Warren Street sits in the Tribeca South Extension Historic District. This beautiful Italianate-style loft building benefits from a double-wide lot spanning almost 50-feet wide with 5 windows in the front and 6 windows in the rear on each floor. The design of the building is attributed to architect John W. Ritch and may have originally been an early nineteenth-century house that was enlarged and reconstructed c.1851-54, at a time when the residential streets to the west and north of City Hall Park were being rapidly redeveloped with new commercial buildings for the dry goods trade. Currently there are 6 residential units in the building.

Over the years, the building was occupied by numerous dry goods, hardware, and electrical supply firms. Although the original storefront, which was supplied by the Architectural Iron Works Co., has been somewhat altered, the facade remains remarkably intact.
