West Village Townhouse New York, NY |
|
| Pei Partnership Architects was commissioned to renovate an existing townhouse, a property that had once been the home of sailmakers, cabinetmakers, furniture dealers, real estate operators and members of the famous Peter, Paul and Mary trio. Recognized by the New York Community Trust in 1966, the Federal-style townhouse dates from 1806 and is one of New York's oldest buildings.
The original 1806 house is preserved even though nothing remains of the interiors — its footprint is recreated through the two existing exterior walls and the dialogue that forms within.
