Rent Office 130 West 57th Street

130 West 57th Street is a notable office building located on 57th Street between Sixth Avenue and Seventh Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Constructed from 1907 to 1908, it was designed by the architectural firm Pollard and Steinam, who also designed the adjacent, nearly identical building at 140 West 57th Street. These buildings are among a group in Manhattan built in the early twentieth century to serve both as artist studios and residences.

The building stands fifteen stories tall, with fourteen stories facing 57th Street and an additional penthouse. The lower two stories of its facade along 57th Street are clad in limestone, while the upper stories are covered with brick. The facade features a mix of broad and narrow bays with metal-framed studio windows, including some double-height windows that provided ample natural light prized by artists. Cornices accentuate the facade above the second and fourteenth stories. The building originally contained double-height studios on the 57th Street side and smaller residential units at the rear.

130 West 57th Street was developed on land previously owned by the artist Robert Vonnoh. Though it was marketed primarily as artists’ studios, the building also housed a range of professionals such as lawyers, stock brokers, and teachers. In 1937, the building transitioned from a cooperative to a rental-apartment structure and was later converted into an office building during the late twentieth century.

Throughout the mid-twentieth century, the building was home to many notable residents and tenants, including musician Ray Charles, the Rolling Stones, Woody Allen’s production company studios, and singer Tony Bennett, who lived on the ninth floor. The building's ground-floor retail spaces have hosted various businesses, including a restaurant known as the Irish Pavilion during the 1970s.

Management of the building passed through several owners and family operators over the decades, with ongoing renovations such as the restoration of hallways and mosaic tiles in the 1990s. By the year 2000, the building was primarily occupied by office tenants, with only a few remaining residential units. In 2016, the building welcomed H. Huntsman & Sons, the first Savile Row tailor to establish a permanent New York location at this address.

130 West 57th Street was officially designated a New York City Landmark by the Landmarks Preservation Commission on October 19, 1999, recognizing its architectural significance and its role in the history of artists’ studio buildings in Manhattan.
