Built in 1889-90 by D & J Jardine, 439 Lafayette Street has a beautiful 19th century cast-iron facade with brownstone and brick facing. It was built for the Estate of M.L. Carroll and A. L. Langdon, however, was converted to industrial use by 1911. It was occupied by a brass goods store at ground level and by a clothing manufacturer and a printer on the upper floors. It remained occupied as a factory until the 1980s, when it was converted to apartments. This boutique cooperative now comprises 7 units. Located in the heart of Noho, it is surrounded by boutiques, excellent restaurants, easy transportation access, and the best amenities that downtown has to offer.
