When former manufacturing or commercial spaces from the pre-war era are converted into residential apartments, not everything needs to be discarded. Among the cherished elements retained are cast-iron columns and wood-beamed ceilings. These buildings, usually dating back to the 19th century, stand as relics from a time before steel-frame and reinforced concretestructural systems came to dominate multi-story building construction. Infusing each room with the rich tapestry of New York history, while seamlessly blending contemporary charm, explore below two dozen of these rare and treasured homes.
