56 Pine Street, a 15-story condominium, was built in 1894 as an office building, designed by architect Oswald Wirz in a delightful style, decked out in orange brick and stone wrought into floral patterns, ornate arches, and twisting columns. 56 Pine Street, one of the city's oldest high-rise buildings, bears an individual landmark designation and lists on the National Register of Historic Places. The exceedingly narrow Pine Street, which dates back to the city's earliest Colonial days, feels like a medieval alley, hemmed in by stately stone trimmed buildings on all sides and channeling quintessential Downtown spirit. Apartments feature ten-foot ceilings, and many offer windowed kitchens and bathrooms. The building, pet-friendly and serviced by a full-time doorman, offers laundry facilities on every floor, a fitness center, full club floor with a media lounge, library with free Wi-Fi, billiards room, and event space with a wet bar. 56 Pine Street stands across the street from the Wall Street station of the 2 and 3 trains, located within the spacious public atrium at 60 Wall Street, and is within a short walk to around a dozen various subway lines, the PATH train, and the Wall Street ferry that offers access to the Brooklyn Bridge Park across the river, Midtown, Long Island City, and as far as the Rockaways. The nearby East River greenway connects to the park belt along the harbor and the Hudson River, allowing for an uninterrupted bike ride all the way to the George Washington Bridge and beyond. The shopping and dining at Pier 17 is situated within a few blocks, as are numerous local restaurants such as Crown Shy, Cipriani's, Felice 15, Fino Wall St, Giardino D'Oro, the Trading Post NYC, the Woolworth Tower Kitchen, the outdoor venues at Stone Street, and more. The Whole Foods store on Broadway is a short walk away.
