Mention its name to any expert, and you'll likely hear, "I love that building." Stepping into its intimate lobby, with its preserved original elevator cab and photo gallery that tells the story of this remarkable building, is like stepping back in time. Built in the 1860s and 1870s by architect Stephen Decatur Hatch in the Second Empire Baroque style, with a cast-iron facade designed by Daniel D. Badger, the Gilsey House was originally a luxury hotel and the first in New York to offer telephones to guests. Converted into one of the city's finest co-ops in 1980, with a facade restoration in 2023, this unique building offers a blend of historic charm and modern living. Residents enjoy boutique amenities, including onsite staff seven days a week, a keyed elevator, freight elevator, bike storage, and common laundry facilities, with the possibility of additional basement storage upon request.Located in the heart of vibrant NoMad, the Gilsey House at 1200 Broadway is surrounded by top-notch dining, hotels, and cultural spots.
