"Awash in creamy tones, this loft has a spacious layout with three bedrooms, a fair amount of storage, and some enticing Williamsburg Bridge views. The unit, in the Smith, Gray Building at 138 Broadway, has high ceilings, light oak floors, central air and, except for a pop of color in one of the two bathrooms, those creamy finishes throughout. The cast-iron fronted building was one of several constructed in Brooklyn by Smith, Gray & Co., a ready-made clothing company."
"the company used the same architect, William H. Gaylor, for this larger structure. This six-story building dates to 1884 and was designed as a headquarters for the firm as well as factory space and retail. A blurb in the Brooklyn Daily Times in 1887 described a "bewildering display" of clothing available, with a "bright and handsome salesroom on the ground floor." The building was converted to condos in 2002."
The penthouse occupies a converted 1884, six-story cast-iron building originally built by Smith, Gray & Co. as headquarters, factory space, and retail. An earlier 1870 firm building at 103 Broadway is an individual landmark, and the same architect, William H. Gaylor, designed the larger structure. The building was converted to condos in 2002. The loft features high ceilings, light oak floors, central air, exposed rafters and piping, and creamy finishes throughout except for a pop of color in one bathroom. The living room and kitchen share one side while three bedrooms open from a hallway lined with closets and a mechanical room with in-unit laundry. The kitchen includes a cabinetry-hidden fridge and a peninsula; the largest bedroom offers exposed brick finished in creamy tones, three closets, and an en suite bath with white mosaic tile, a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and a double vanity. The living area provides space for dining and lounging plus views of the Williamsburg Bridge.
