Every neighborhood in New York City, and each of the streets it contains, holds secrets to be uncovered. Nestled between Chinatown and Tribeca in lower Manhattan, Walker is one of the streets that has its history most deeply buried, some of which may never be known.
Built in 1910, Walker Street is named after Benjamin Walker (1753 – 1818), a Revolutionary War officer and Congress Representative in honor of his service in New York City for many years.
Some of the oldest historical buildings on Walker Street include a Lutheran church that was sold for good in 1868 and seems to no longer stand.
Our current Tribeca First Standard Construction project, seemingly to have been built as it is in use today - loft style apartments - but much like its neighbors, may have started its life as an industrial manufacturing building. 31 Walker Street features NYC LPC approved Parrett Windows Mahogany two over two large Weight and Chain Variation Arched Top Sashes.
We are proud to contribute to the revival of these historic buildings.
Walker Street runs west to east, beginning at 6th Avenue and continuing until it intersects with Canal Street. Because of its length, it actually runs through two very distinct downtown neighborhoods, beginning in the heart of Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood and ending in Chinatown.
