108 Waverly Place (New York City, New York)

USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / New York City, New York / Waverly Place, 108
 Gothic revival (architecture), apartment building, 1820s construction

4-story residential building originally completed in 1826 as a 3.5-story rowhouse as part of a group of nine developed by Thomas R. Mercein. In 1906, it was re-clad in a granite-faced, rough ashlar facade with a crenulated cornice, to a design by Charles C. Haight for Grace Wilkes. At that time the stable and coachman's apartment were combined, and the roof over the attic floor was raised, and it now has a steeply-sloping studio window. The present two-centered arched window at ground floor that replaces the former garage entrance is a further alteration in 1927 when the entire building was converted.

The ground floor has a blue-painted door on the left with three stone steps, and a wide Gothic-arched window on the right, with leaded glass tracery. The 2nd floor has a single window on the left and a triple-window on the right. The 3rd floor has a single window in the center with double-windows on either side.
