Rentals got underway back in May at the all-new 222 E. Seventh St. — now with two additional floors — between Avenue B and Avenue C.
The address (before the previous building was gutted and rebuilt) served as a home and studio for sculpturist Louise Nevelson in the 1970s.
[The former No. 222]
The building is named in her honor — the Nevelson House.
And there's now a plaque out front with more details about her time at No. 222...
The plaque reads in part...
During the 1970s her art studio was on the 4th floor of this building. ... She hosted many parties with guests like Andy Warhol and Ray Johnson here. Neith Nevelson, her granddaughter, is an artist ... Neith lived and painted on the 2nd floor.
The building has been renovated and remains as a place of inspiration for those who live within its walls.
Streeteasy shows the monthly rent for units ranging in price from $4,195 to $7,750.
