After two and a half years of painstaking scrubbing, sanding, and cleaning - a beautiful sandstone facade in Tribeca, smothered under layers of paint for nearly fifty years, has been returned to it's historic glory. Beyond a new pair of ten foot tall solid oak and glass entry doors is a new lobby that slips through the narrow gap between the double-building residential combination. With a palette of blackened steel, walnut, and exposed brick it is a tough, modern echo of Tribeca's industrial past.
