155 Water Street, 5/20/2007
I know Brownstoner had a posting about 155 Water Street on Tuesday, but I have few other photos I took over the weekend. Not sure what developer Josh Guttman is planning on doing with the space (condos? rentals? commercial lofts?), but when the planned Pearl Street Triangle is completed, whoever occupies the building will have a pedestrian plaza in front of the building. Even better if a rumored Greenmarket comes to the plaza.

Is there nothing that can be done about this guy and his penchant for ruining our neighborhood? Aside from looking odd, the windows don’t exactly appear to be soundproof so rentals or a condo seem unlikely but who knows with this guy.
PS - Is it safe to assume the folks in 50 Bridge are still dealing with the aftermath of that botched job? Bottom two floors still empty?

i heard rumor of a hotel. Also, there was a Yeshiva operating out of the second floor for the last few months http://iyeshiva.com/index.html

the guys on this job dropped scaffolding on my car.
felt i couldn’t complain, lest they set it on fire like everything else.

a hotel? you’ve got to be kidding. even motel 6 would have enough sense to restore the building with some sensitivity to it’s historic architecture and the character of the neighborhood. the windows are hideous, plain and simple, and no boutique hotel would ever be stupid enough to open 10 feet from the loudest overpass in the city. at best they will convert that bldg into 3rd rate condos. and the yeshiva mentioned in an earlier post is moving into the former garage next to pedro’s on jay st., becuase god knows a narrow religious interest group needs prime retail space with frontage on the neighborhood’s busiest thoroughfair.

Shawn is right-on about the yeshiva comment. Why would they need prime retail space on Jay st? and the building shown above, it has the potential to be a great location for retail and cafes on the ground level. But a hotel will bring nothing to the street level.

in response to TWC: “the windows don’t exactly appear to be soundproof”
– are you kidding me? the windows don’t “appear” to be soundproof?!? and what, pray tell, do soundproof windows “appear” like?

they are usualy double pane. these didn’t seem to look the same as other soundproof windows i have seen.

in response to ‘me’: they look like what is in j condo or beacon tower. what’s so shocking about the statement “the windows don’t exactly appear to be soundproof”?. the windows in the gutman building also look like they actually vibrate when the train goes by.

Regarding 155 Water St., someone wrote that the building is historic. Can anyone therefore tell me the date of its construction? This was the site of my great-great-grandfather John Hamilton Harris’s hat factory, and I wonder if the building was the one he built in 1828 or so. if so, I would appreciate a photo of it for a family memoir I’m publishing.
Thank you for any help. Judith Harris

Can’t be, the current building dates from after the construction of the Manhattan Bridge (finished 1908).
See http://www.bluejake.com/archives/2008/07/23/155_water_street_from_20_jay_street.php for a current view of the building from the North East

Er, make that 1909.

Thank you so much. I’m very appreciative - his factory was built there around 1820.
