[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I think a bunch of us are obsessed with this (I lived in Manhattan with my parents in the 80s so lofts are to die for as far as I am concerned)

Please let us know what happens. I don't know. Maybe you could even post a photo of the place![/quote]

OP here, well it looks like the deliberation was moot as the building owner is planning to contest the sale of rights and improvements and will buy them, which according to the law gives the owner the right to take back and de-rent stabilize a previously protected unit. So we won't stay after all and an era will close. The place is a true piece of history - the story of the block the building is on captured in this article:http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5451873de4b008f3c5898336/t/54cfbedee4b092432af5f5f8/1422900969104/DRIw1.pdf. Also happens to be the street with a rare Federalist era house still occupied by sculptor Donald Judd's fabricator.

So farewell to one of the last lofts with original art dating back to the 60s that in a few months will likely look like a much more generic space like its neighbors. Happy to share photos if anyone provides an email or other way to receive them. Also have many interesting paintings to give away as our family can only take a few, in case anyone would like to see photos. Hopefully the last poster has shared your own story of growing up here with the Soho Memory Project.  [/quote]
