USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / New York City, New York / West 12th Street, 285
 apartment building, 1840s construction

New York, NY 10014

4-story residential building originally completed in 1841 as two separate buildings. They were combined in 1928, and provided with a common entrance doorway, shielded by a tile hood. The large top floor casement windows, under an overhanging tile roof, belong to the same period. The rear extension dates from a still later modification.

For 50 years, the ground floor was occupied by The Beatrice Inn, a classic Italian restaurant, until its closing in 2005. It was revived in 2006 as a hard-to-get-in lounge by Paul Sevigny, Chloe's brother.
