Snook, who designed several commercial buildings throughout the region, including the first Grand Central Depot. This handsome factory building once housed Enoch Morgan's Sons Co., manufacturers of Sapolio Soap, called "the world's best-advertised product" in its heyday. Converted to residential use in 1981, the boutique co-op offers today's residents a renovated lobby, elevator, superintendent, and a Butterfly MX video intercom/virtual doorman system. Pets and pieds- -terre are permitted with approval. There is an ongoing capital assessment until 10/2025 of $1,950.
