RUMOR: Which 'Friends' cast member demolished the historic East Sixth Street townhouse?


Yesterday, we had the sad news about the total demolition of the circa-1852 townhouse at 331 E. Sixth St.

Per a commenter:

Rumor has it that this building was bought by a former "Friends" cast member, not sure which one. Funny how that show portayed outrageously unrealistic NYC apartment living. The reality is so much more outrageous!

Hmm, well, we have no idea about this one. Well, it could be true, though it likely isn't.

Still, let's blame LeBlanc.

    Maybe they will turn it into set for 40 somethings.

    For realz, why would he want to live here? I'm sure he'd be all catty if residents approached him once they recognized him. It's not like he could enjoy a life of quiet desperation (which is rather what the EV/LES is beautiful for).

    Funny, 'cause one of the creators of Friends grew up in Stuy Town.

    Well, whoever bought it should be aware that they are subject to visits by those who don't dig monied transient-interlopers who try to remake our neighborhood in their image....
