56 Pine Street # 16-B, New York (Manhattan), NY 10005

This high floor, cozy studio is divided with dry wall for bedroom privacy. It also features a kitchen with granite counter tops. Designed by Oscar Wirz in the Romanesque-revival style, 56 Pine St. was completed in 1894 and was converted into apartments in 2005. Originally called the Wallace Building after its developer, James Wallace, the building was named a city landmark in 1997. The building is most notable for its iconic façade of stone, brick, and terra cotta and with inset, arching windows. With 90 units on 16 stories, 56 Pine St. was one of the tallest buildings in lower Manhattan when it was first built and was one of the city’s first skyscrapers. Public transport is a short distance from the building, and its central Financial District location marks it close to eateries, retailers, banks as well as local parks and South St market is a couple blocks away.
