Gansevoort Condominiums

7-story Renaissance-revival residential building completed in 1907 as a store-and-loft building. It was converted to 21 condominiums in 1987. The facade has a 2-story base rusticated stone base, with both rough and smooth limestone cladding, and a dentiled stone cornice. Two bays of windows end in segmental-arches at the 2nd floor, where a pair of stone-framed oculi flank them. A metal marquee is suspended over the ground floor. There were originally entrances at both ends topped by triangular pediments, but the western one has been filled in, and the western one converted to a service entrance with a metal door. In between, a former storefront with two bays has been replaced by white wood and glass infill, with the new entrance in the western of these two bays, with double-doors below a transom, approached by three steps.

The upper floors are clad in buff-colored brick, with two bays of double-windows featuring carved panels between floors, and segmental-arched triple-windows at the 6th floor. A narrow bay of single-windows on either side have splayed brick lintels with scrolled keystones. The top floor consists of six equally-sized, splayed-lintel with keystone windows set above a stone band course. There is a large Dutch-styled circular opening in the center of the asymmetrical roof parapet.
