182 Lafayette Street

USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / Lafayette Street, 182

6-story Queen Anne-style mercantile building completed in 1891. Designed by Thom & Wilson as a store-and-loft building, its round-arch fenestration at the 2nd floor, paneled spandrels, molded labels, and stepped gable at the central bay are characteristics of Queen Anne style commercial buildings of the late nineteenth century. There is a wide round-arch at the center of the 4th floor, and iron decorations on the piers between the 3rd & 4th floors. Toward the top of the building are brownstone accents, and most of the windows have red iron railings in front of them. The building had housed the SoHo Children’s Museum of the Arts since 1998 until moving to Charlton Street in 2011.
