170–176 John Street Building
170–176 John Street Building, Greek Revival commercial structure in Financial District, Manhattan, United States.
The building at 170-176 John Street is a five-story structure clad in granite with Greek Revival design elements throughout. Today it functions as residential housing with interior spaces adapted for modern living while retaining its original exterior appearance.
Construction began in 1840 as a commercial structure for merchant operations in the Financial District. The building transitioned to residential use during the 1980s when it was adapted into apartment units.
The granite facade displays hallmarks of Greek Revival style that rarely appear in the city today. Classical proportions and stone craftsmanship remain visible in the building's structural elements along John Street.
The structure sits in the Financial District with good access to nearby subway stations and public transportation. Visitors should note this is a private residential building and interior access may be restricted to residents only.
The building overlooks the site of the former Burling Slip, a historic waterfront where ships once docked. Though the waterway no longer exists, the location preserves the memory of this area's maritime past.
