One Fifth Avenue is a residential skyscraper in the Washington Square area of Greenwich Village. It was designed by Harvey Wiley Corbett of the firm Helme & Corbett.[1]
In 1926, developer Joseph G. Siegel leased the lot on the southeast corner of 8th Street and Fifth Avenue from Sailors' Snug Harbor.[1] Construction began in 1926,[2] and the building opened in 1927 as an apartment hotel with 2- and 3-room units.[1] When first built, it was received with both acclaim and controversy,[4] called "a 27-story apartment hotel, a thing of rare beauty"[5] and "a modern skyscraper in a neighborhood of brownstones".[4]
It was converted to a co-op in 1976,[1] and is "one of the Village's most desirable co-ops."[6]
Architecture
The architectural style has been described as Art Deco[3] and modern,[3] and having "a vaguely Venetian or Gothic cast",[1] although The New York Times assessed it as "astylar, more 'tall building' than anything else."[1] The flat exterior incorporates brick of different colors to create the illusion of depth.[1]
