The Puck Building is a historic building in the Nolita neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. It occupies the block bounded by Lafayette, Houston, Mulberry and Jersey Streets. The building is owned by Kushner Properties.

An example of the German Rundbogenstil style of architecture, the building was designed by Albert Wagner, and was constructed in two parts. The north section was built in 1885–86 and the south addition in 1892–93. The front of the building on Lafayette Street was relocated in 1899 when the street was widened; this was supervised by Herman Wagner. The building was rehabilitated in 1983–84 and further renovated in 1995 by Beyer Blinder Belle.

The building sports two gilded statues by sculptor Henry Baerer of Shakespeare's character Puck, from A Midsummer Night's Dream, one on the northeast corner at Houston and Mulberry, and one over the main entrance on Lafayette.[2]

Site

[edit]

Prior to the construction of the Puck Building, the site had been occupied by St. Catherine's Convent, which was built by the Order of the Sisters of Mercy in 1848. The convent was located at 35 East Houston Street, and the adjacent House of Mercy was at 33 East Houston Street.[3] When the building was erected in the 1880s, it was at the southern end of Manhattan's printing district,[4][5] which was centered around the Astor Library Building. Furthermore, there were numerous publishers, printing firms, and publications headquartered in the neighborhood.[6] These firms had settled in the neighborhood in part because of their proximity to the New York and New Haven Railroad's freight terminal, which was several blocks south on Canal Street between Centre and Lafayette streets.[7]

At the time of the building's construction, Lafayette Street did not exist at the intersection with Houston Street.[8] What is now known as Lafayette Street was two separate streets: Lafayette Place to the north and Elm Street to the south.[9][10] These two streets were connected with each other between 1897[11] and 1905.[6][12] Because of the construction of Lafayette Street, part of the original building has been demolished.[6]

Architecture

[edit]

The Puck Building was designed by Albert Wagner[2][4] and was built for Puck magazine and and the J. Ottmann Lithographing Company.[6] It is designed in the Romanesque Revival style, with elements inspired by the German Rundbogenstil style.[13] It was constructed in two parts: The north section was built in 1885–1986 and the south addition in 1892–1993.[2] The front of the building on Lafayette Street was relocated in 1899 when the street (then called Elm Place)[14] was widened. Herman Wagner was the architect for the renovated facade.[2] The building was rehabilitated in 1983–84 and further renovated in 1995 by Beyer Blinder Belle.[2]

Facade

[edit]

The building originally was seven stories before it was expanded to nine stories.[15] When the building was completed, Puck magazine described the structure as having round arches along both Houston and Mulberry streets, with a recessed wrought-iron entrance at the corner.[16][17] Above the corner stands a cast-metal statue of Shakespeare's character Puck, along with a flagstaff and mirror.[17]

Interior

[edit]

The ceilings on the first floor are 18 feet (5.5 m) high, shrinking to 10.5 feet (3.2 m) on the upper stories.[15] The ground (first) floor was originally used by the J. Ottman firm, and it also included a stair leading to the Puck company offices on the upper stories.[5][17] On the upper floors were was a reception area, a library, an office, a workshop and reception room, and a set of artists' ateliers. There was also a photographer's darkroom on the fifth floor, as well as a transfer room on the sixth floor where artists' sketches were reproduced in color.[18] The building had 24 printing presses as well.[19]

Most of the interior, including the open plan offices, remained intact in the late 20th century.[20] The building contains both office and retail space as well as ballrooms for large events on both the top and ground floors. The Skylight Ballroom can accommodate 250 guests, while the Grand Ballroom can fit up to 1,000.[21]

At the top of the building are six penthouse apartments designed by Jose Ramirez and Sherida E. Paulsen.[22][23] The apartments are accessed through their own entrance and are served by a concierge.[24] The penthouse lobby has an imported European cast-iron fireplace mantel, and the private elevator has a depiction of Puck. Each of the apartments is assigned a Roman-numeral apartment number (for example, penthouse VI).[22] The penthouses range from 4,895 to 7,000 square feet (454.8 to 650.3 m2) and retain the spaces' original large windows, cast-iron columns, and vaulted brick ceilings.[23][24] Each penthouse has a separate layout; three of the penthouses have outdoor terraces, and two units occupy two levels. There are custom-made appliances such as stoves, window frames, and door hinges. As built, the units were fully furnished; for example, the bathrooms are clad in travertine, and there are doors made of nickel and glass.[22]

History

[edit]

Puck ownership

[edit]

The building was the longtime home of Puck magazine, a humor cartoon.[25][26] Joseph Keppler and Adolph Schwarzmann had founded Puck as a German-language publication in 1876 and started publishing in English in 1877.[26][27] Puck magazine was originally situated near the Manhattan end of the Brooklyn Bridge.[28] Puck and the J. Ottmann Lithographing Company, which printed out Puck cartoons, were situated on Warren Street in Manhattan's Civic Center by 1880.[28][29] The magazine's circulation had grown to 80,000 by then, and it needed a larger building.[30]

Development and opening

[edit]
Gilded statues of Shakespeare's character Puck can be found in several places around the building's exterior.

In February 1885, Keppler, Schwarzmann, and J. Ottmann agreed to acquire the Institution of Mercy at the southwest corner of Mulberry Street and Houston Street.[3][31] The sale was finalized the next month;[6][32] the three men paid $140,000 (equivalent to $4,748,000 in 2023) for the site.[3] The men hired Albert Wagner to design a seven-story building, with two basements, on a site measuring 117 feet (36 m) along Houston Street and 138 feet (42 m) along Mulberry Street. As planned, the ground floor would contain stores, the second and third stories would be used as offices, and the upper stories would be used as a printing plant.[31] Demolition was underway by mid-1885.[33] Keppler, Schwarzmann, and J. Ottmann borrowed $130,000 (equivalent to $4,408,000 in 2023) from the Franklin Savings Bank.[34]

The Puck Building was completed around 1886.[6] The original building was much wider along its northern end, at Houston Street, than along its southern end.[35] Originally, Ottmann's lithograph firm was located on the ground floor, while the Puck offices upstairs were accessed by a separate lobby.[5][17] Shortly after the building was finished, in June 1887, a fire caused up to $30,000 in damage to the upper floors (equivalent to $1,017,000 in 2023). There was also water damage to Puck magazine's editorial rooms when firefighters tried to put out the blaze.[36] The building caught fire again in early 1888, although the blaze was extinguished before a large amount of flammable material in the basement could catch fire.[37]

Expansion

[edit]

In 1890, Keppler, Schwarzmann, and Ottmann acquired the site at 281 Mulberry Street, directly south of the Puck Building.[6][38] At the time, the irregularly-shaped site on Mulberry Street contained a three-story tenement, which Keppler and his partners planned to demolish and replace with an annex to the Puck Building.[38] Simultaneously, Mayor Hugh J. Grant had appointed a Board of Rapid Transit Commissioners to plan a New York City Subway line.[39] The board had announced plans for the subway's first line in June 1890; the line would be built underneath a new street running between Elm Street and Lafayette Place, requiring the demolition of part of the Puck Building.[40] The building would have to be reconfigured so that it had a facade along the new street.[35] Due to uncertainties over the subway line's construction, the annex's construction was delayed by two years.[6]

A nine-story annex was added in 1892.[41]

When Lafayette Street was built in 1897, the street's right of way passed directly through the western section of the Puck Building. As a result, the northern part of the facade, originally five bays wide, was truncated to three bays. Herman Wagner and Richard Jahn, who had taken over Albert Wagner's firm, designed the renovation.[6]

20th century

[edit]

A fire in November 1905 caused $50,000 in damage after a can of turpentine caught on fire inside a finishing room where workers were producing Christmas cards.[42] The northern portion of the building remained Puck magazine's headquarters until 1917, when Hearst Communications took over the magazine.[43] In 1947, the Puck Building was sold to a client of David Rapaport; at the time, the building was valued at $490,000 (equivalent to $6,686,000 in 2023).[43] At the time, the building was cited as having 210,000 square feet (20,000 m2) of space.[43]

The building later housed numerous independent printing firms and related printing services.[43] The odor of printing ink permeated the building for many years. An office stationery company, S. Novick & Son, once occupied the second floor. Notable among that firm's salesmen was Alger Hiss, the former Assistant Secretary of State, who was brought down in a spy scandal in the 1950s.[44]

Serra ownership

[edit]

Paul Serra's family bought the building in 1978.[41] The two largest tenants moved out of the building in 1980, and all but one of the other tenants moved out during the subsequent months. The Serra family bought out the last tenant's lease and proposed converting the building into a commercial condominium.[15] A proposed 1981 conversion of the building eliminated the inclusion of residential space based on the economics of paying displaced commercial tenants a fee of $9 per square foot.[45] Serra's family converted the building to about 150,000 square feet (14,000 m2) of office and gallery space for graphic-arts firms. Workers regilded the Puck statues, rebuilt the elevator cabs, added interior wainscoting, and installed new mechanical systems.[15]

The building reopened in April 1983 after an $8 million renovation and restoration.[41] Initially, the first two stories contained galleries, the midsection had offices, and the top stories had schools (including a design school operated by Serra's friend Peter Gee).[15] In the 1980s, the Puck Building was the original home of Spy Magazine,[46] and starting in 1986, the building housed the Manhattan Center of Pratt Institute.[47]

Kushner ownership

[edit]

The Kushner Companies bought the building around 1985.[48] They wholly own the building, without any outside partner.[49]

1980s to 2000s

[edit]

In 2003, New York University leased 75,000 square feet (7,000 m2) at the building, becoming the largest tenant.[50] NYU relocated its Wagner Graduate School of Public Service and sociology department into the building;[51] at the time, the other tenants included Swanke Hayden Connell Architects and the catering firm New York Caterers.[50] The outdoor-gear store REI leased 39,000 square feet (3,600 m2) for a three-story store at the building in 2010,[52] which opened in December 2011.[53] Part of the ground floor was cut away to make way for a staircase,[54] and some of the original lower-story finishes were restored.[55]

2010s renovation

[edit]

The building underwent a large-scale renovation beginning in 2011.[48] That May, the LPC issued a permit to Kushner Companies, allowing the owner to begin renovating the facade.[48] The renovation was designed by the architecture firm of Callison and includes an area that showcases the history of the Puck Building.[53] That August, Kushner announced plans to add penthouse apartments atop the building[56][57] and hired PKSB Architects to design the penthouse.[48][56] The original plans called for three apartments each on the eighth and ninth floors, as well as a single duplex apartment within a new dormer structure on the roof.[56] The LPC rejected the initial designs in September 2011.[58] Kushner submitted revised plans for two glass penthouses in October,[59] but the LPC also rejected these designs, citing the fact that the penthouse was too large and too prominent.[60] After six meetings with the LPC,[61] the agency finally approved plans for the penthouse in December.[62][63] The final plan called for the penthouse to be downsized by 1,500 square feet (140 m2) and shortened by 20 feet (6.1 m).[62]

Jared Kushner was personally involved with the apartments' design, mapping out their layouts and selecting their materials. His wife Ivanka Trump selected the materials for the apartments' bathrooms and closets.[22] In September 2013, Kushner began marketing the condos for $21 million to $60 million.[64] The first of the six units was sold in May 2014 for $28 million,[65] but two years elapsed before the next penthouse was sold.[66][67] In 2016, Kushner Companies replaced the penthouses' original brokerage, Sotheby's International Realty, with the Corcoran Group.[67] With sales of the condos lagging, Kushner Companies decided to rent out three of the condos in 2017.[68] Kushner's brother Joshua and Joshua's wife Karlie Kloss bought a 7,200-square-foot (670 m2) penthouse in the building for $35 million in 2021;[69] they sold the penthouse in 2024.[70][71]

  • Thrive Capital, the venture capital firm run by Charles Kushner's son and Jared Kushner's younger brother Joshua, has its office in the building. Several portfolio companies in which Thrive is invested are also headquartered in the Puck Building, including Cadre and Oscar Health.[72]

Incidents

[edit]

On November 5, 1982, author and artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha was raped and killed by security guard and serial rapist Joey Sanza in the Puck Building. Cha had gone there to meet her husband, photographer Richard Barnes, who was documenting the renovation of the building.[73] Cha died a week after the publication of her book Dictee.[74] Sanza was convicted after five years and three trials.[73]

Impact

[edit]

One writer for The New York Times wrote in 1983 that the building "seems to fit right in with the cast-iron structures" around it.[75]
