64 Fulton Street

USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / Fulton Street, 64
 office building, apartment building

125-foot, 11-story Renaissance-revival/Art-Nouveau office building completed in 1898 as a 9-story store/mercantile building. Designed by Charles Brendon, it has a 2-story retail base fronting Fulton Street, composed of green-painted cast-iron with fluted piers. This base of storefronts is capped by a green iron dentiled cornice above a black frieze decorative with simple green circles above each pier. There is an angled corner bay at the intersection of Fulton Street and Ryders Alley, which the cast-iron base continues onto.

The upper floors on Fulton are clad in orange brick, with slightly-recessed window bays between the piers. The left--most bay has three windows, separated by dark-grey metal mullions while the other two bays each have two windows (the corner bay has a single window). Each bay is capped by a green metal lintel with a small rosette decoration above the mullions. Spanning across the entire top of the 3rd & 7th floors are a pair of stone cornices. Within each bay on the 4th-6th floors are stone sills with rows of dentils. The 8th & 9th floors are divided into seven evenly-spaced single bays, with slightly narrower brick piers. The 8th floor also has green metal lintels above the windows, and the 9th floor has stone sills with dentils, but the tops of the 9th-floor windows have shallow segmental-arches, and simple capitals terminating the piers. The two top floors were added sometime shortly after 1900, replacing an original roof cornice. They are clad in reddish-brown brick, and have three bays of triple-windows with metal mullions, and a single one-window bay on the left side. The roof line ends in a simple parapet.

The entire facade facing the alley is brown brick, with each floor having nine windows with stone sills and lintels, and a variety of metal frames - the exception is the top two newer floors, which from left to right, have a wide single window, three bays of triple-windows, a regular single-window, and a small square window at the far side. The south elevation is faced in light beige smooth-stucco, with square-headed windows that are grouped mostly on the top floors, except for at the rear, where they extends all the way down.

The building was renovated in 1990. A large water tower is visible on the roof. The 2-story storefronts are occupied by Midtown Comics (on the 2nd floor), Dunkin' Donuts, Ruben's Empanadas, and Alfanoose Lebanese restaurant.

    Cliff Street was located at 15 Cliff Street and was one of two undergraduate residence halls in the Financial District. Cliff Street housed 321 residents and six RAs. The contract NYU had with the landlord of Cliff Street ended in May 2008 and the building is no longer used by NYU. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_University_residence_halls
