21 West Street, Art Deco apartment building in Financial District, Manhattan, United States.
The 33-story structure at 21 West Street features geometric patterns, brick facades, and terracotta elements that extend from ground level to the top floors.
Built between 1929 and 1931 by architects Starrett & van Vleck, the building transformed from an office tower into residential apartments during its 1997 renovation.
The property received recognition from both the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 and the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1998.
Located near the intersection of Morris Street and Washington Street, the building contains 293 residential units and operates without a basement level.
The structure introduced wrap-around corner windows in commercial architecture, a design element previously limited to residential buildings in the United States.
