75 Livingston Street, Gothic Revival tower in Downtown Brooklyn, United States
75 Livingston Street is a residential cooperative tower in Downtown Brooklyn featuring Gothic Revival architecture across 30 floors, with vertical lines, pointed arches, and ornamental details. The building rises prominently at the intersection of Court and Livingston Streets in a historically significant commercial district.
Architect Abraham J. Simberg designed this structure in 1926 as an office tower serving the city's commercial needs. It was converted into residential cooperative apartments in 1981, marking a significant change in its use and purpose.
The building stands as part of the Borough Hall Skyscraper Historic District, representing the architectural evolution of Brooklyn's commercial district in the 1920s.
The building sits at a well-served intersection with good access to multiple subway lines and nearby municipal facilities. Visitors can view the ornate facade and architectural details from the sidewalk and surrounding streets.
The original plans included a dining room on the 25th floor with an intended height of 430 feet. The design was reduced during construction to its current height, reflecting changes made to the initial vision.
