116 Sullivan Street, Federal townhouse in SoHo, Manhattan, US
Description
116 Sullivan Street is a four-story brick building in Manhattan with a rounded brownstone doorway and a width of about 24 feet. The residence spreads across multiple levels with period details throughout its Federal-style design.
History
Charles Starr, a bookbinder, built this house in 1832 as one of several residential investments he made along Sullivan Street. It remains one of only three Federal-style houses still standing on the same block today.
Culture
The building received New York City Landmark designation in 1973, marking its place among the three remaining Federal-style houses on Sullivan Street.
Practical
The building stands on a tree-lined block and can be viewed from the street, though it remains a private residence and is not open to the public. The most striking details of the entrance are best seen by stopping in front of the building and looking up at the doorway.
Did you know?
The entrance doorway features carved wooden Ionic columns with three stacked oval sections replacing the typical leaded glass panels. This unusual combination reflects how local craftspeople adapted Federal design traditions to available materials and their own techniques.
