2 Horatio Street

2 Horatio Street is an Art Deco apartment building in West Village, Manhattan, distinguished by a red and brown brick facade with Greek key ornaments and circle-in-square patterns. The 17-story structure houses residential units of varying sizes and displays the detailed craftsmanship characteristic of the Art Deco style.

The building was constructed between 1929 and 1931 by real estate firm Bing & Bing, replacing six lower structures to enable vertical residential use. Between 1959 and 1963, it underwent expansion that added apartments per floor and introduced modern amenities.

Near Jackson Square Park, the building represents how Greenwich Village transformed from a modest neighborhood into a modern residential area. The Art Deco design elements shape the streetscape today, showing how this architectural style influenced the character of the district.

The building features full-time doorman service and basement laundry facilities that support residents' daily life. Its location on Horatio Street offers good accessibility to West Village and its surroundings.

The building contains studio to four-bedroom apartments and operates as a cooperative, an ownership model common in New York. This structure allows residents to own and manage their homes differently than in typical rental properties.
