339 Lafayette Street, Activist building in NoHo, Manhattan, United States.
The six-story structure at 339 Lafayette Street features brick walls and multiple office spaces spread across different floors within its compact footprint.
The War Resisters League purchased the building in 1974 for $60,000, marking the start of its role as a center for political organizations.
The building earned the name Peace Pentagon due to the numerous social justice and anti-war organizations that established their offices within its walls.
Located near multiple subway stations, the building provided affordable office spaces to organizations focused on political and social change until 2015.
The A.J. Muste Institute acquired the property in 1978 and maintained below-market rental rates for politically aligned groups over several decades.
