The Atrium at 160 Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, New York, was originally designed by architect Earnest Flagg in the 1800s as a men's hotel, which operated in compliance with the 1879 Tenement House Law. Embodying Flagg's advocacy for housing reform, the building features two massive 10-story interior air shafts covered with skylights, giving rise to its name, "The Atrium."
This historic building, standing as the sole surviving structure of three men's hotels built by Mills in late 1800s New York City, now houses 189 luxury Co-op units. Noteworthy for its significance in housing reform, the Atrium represents Flagg's innovative proposals for changes in zoning laws, showcasing his architectural vision and commitment to creating safe and comfortable living spaces.
With a rich history that includes hosting the legendary Village Gate jazz showcase for over three decades, the Atrium continues to be a landmark in Greenwich Village. Today, the building is home to diverse businesses, including a CVS and the "Village Theater," while offering office spaces managed by Knickerbocker Village NY real estate and management firm.
