The 4-story brick and brownstone building was originally constructed as the Sullivan Street Industrial School, then used for years by the nonprofit Children’s Aid Society.
This Greenwich Village project involved the restoration of a 1892 Victorian-Gothic building designed by Calvert Vaux. Silman re-framed floors in the existing building at elevations to match the new construction to the south.

The 4-story brick and brownstone building was originally constructed as the Sullivan Street Industrial School, then used for years by the nonprofit Children’s Aid Society.
The new superstructure system in the existing building is comprised of light gauge metal joists spanning to new steel members pocketed into the existing masonry walls. Silman’s work included a roof replacement and the design of a new rear terrace.
The new 7-story structure to the south uses cast-in-place concrete and a mini-pile foundation. The joined buildings contain high end condominiums with upper-level terraces and a cellar level with parking and shared spaces.
