Former Catholic School on Warren Street

We’re quite taken with this Victorian-era institutional building at 205 Warren Street between Court and Clinton. Originally built in 1887 as the St. Paul’s Parish School, the structure is particularly noteworthy for its Corinthian-capped pilasters, according to the AIA Guide to New York City. It was reconfigured into a 27-unit co-op at some point. In fact, a two-bedroom, 1,300-square-foot place on the second floor sold for $990,000 at the beginning of the summer. Who can tell us what the apartments are like? Must be spacious. GMAP

I had a friend who lived on the top floor in the early 90s. She had a wonderful, sunlit 1-bedroom with an unusual layout and pretty views over the rooftops. Very high ceilings and huge windows.
Lived there ’91-’98. Loved it. Low maintenance (approx $500 back then). 17 foot ceilings. Light filled. Cheap interior construction (hollow doors, acres of wallboard, etc). Nice roofdeck with 360 degree views. Sewer line back ups caused grief to first floor residents. It’s a walk up and after our second kid hauling gear and groceries to the third floor was a trial. Spent weekends in the park so moved to the slope.
A bunch of families from my daughter’s preschool live there. Everyone raves about the building. Super high ceilings.
