We've long been curious about 37 Great Jones St. between the Bowery and Lafayette… ditto for Goggla, who notes that the landmarked building is free of all its renovations gear this week… so you can see what all that work has been about in her photo above…

Pricing details were released back in September. The penthouse is asking $25,000 a month while commoners can enjoy the four units on the lower floors for between $10K and $12K. (Find the official 37 Jones site here.)

Here's how the Times described the now 95-year-old building back in March 2008:

"An unusual addition to the street was the stocky, brooding building at 37 Great Jones, designed in 1917 by Lewis Patton and used as a warehouse in the 1930s by the Philco Radio and Television Corporation."

And here it is in 1936…



Oh, wait. This is better.

What's next for the "stocky, brooding" 37 Great Jones?

While I'm in the neighborhood... Dunno how long 37 Great Jones has been on the market...



As the Times noted in March 2008: "An unusual addition to the street was the stocky, brooding building at 37 Great Jones, designed in 1917 by Lewis Patton and used as a warehouse in the 1930s by the Philco Radio and Television Corporation."

Here's how it looked in 1936 (via):



The building is on the block for $8.8 million. As the listing (PDF) notes, "This property represents a unique opportunity for an investor or end user (such as a single family or restaurant), in an area teaming with new development. This building abuts Ian Schrager's 40 Bond, and numerous other new projects."

Single family?
