USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / New York City, New York / West 8th Street, 58-60
 apartment building, 1850s construction

5-story Greek-revival residential building completed in 1854. It is clad in beige brick, above a full-width storefront, with brown stone window lintels and sills. A simple brown stone cornice, with large modillions and returned at each end, crowns the building. There is also a pair of shallow buildings in the rear, reached by a wide central passageway. Nowadays, this passage is filled by a long narrow store, but a garden attractively brings together the units. Two brown metal fire escapes run down the front facade. The ground floor is occupied by Gigi K lingerie, Culture An American Yogurt Company, and a nail salon.
