Building Description

Once known as the Sinclair Oil Building, the Liberty Tower is located in the Manhattan Financial District. Designed by Chicago architect Henry Ives Cobb and built in 1910, it's a great example of Gothic Revival architecture. This 33-story building is 100% free standing and, when it was built, was the tallest building in the world with a footprint so small. The area is a popular parking spot for food trucks, which gives residents the chance to try numerous cuisines, there are several bars in the area, including the long-beloved Flow, and numerous stores are within half a mile, including a cluster of close-out stores perfect for bargain hunters.

It is a limestone building with ornamental birds, alligators, and architectural terracotta. Though it was originally made for commercial use, and was once the headquarters of President Theodore Roosevelt's offices, it was converted to a residential building in 1979, the same year it was renamed Liberty Tower. It's both a New York City landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places. It's within half a mile of two elementary schools and two and a half miles of a middle school, and a high school is within blocks of the building.
