History of 254 West 23rd Street, Manhattan, NYC

In the early 1850s, 254 West 23rd Street was constructed as a new brick Italianate style house, measuring 25 feet wide and rising three stories above a high English basement. The building featured distinctive architectural details including molded lintels above the windows, a cast iron cornice with foliate decorations, and likely a cast iron balcony at the parlor level.

The house was originally home to the William O. Kent family. William O. Kent lived there until his death in January 1856, with his funeral held in the parlor of the residence. His son Henry F. Kent held a supervisory administrative position with the City’s Street Department in 1854.

By the 1860s, residents began moving away from the neighborhood as the block gradually transitioned from residential to commercial use. By 1887, the building was purchased by real estate dealers S. F. Jayne & Co., who commissioned renovations by the architectural firm Napoleon Le Brun & Son. The 1887 alterations involved removing the basement and first story walls, installing a new iron staircase in place of the original stoop, and adding a cast iron storefront for commercial use on the basement and parlor levels. This firm conducted real estate business extensively from the location for many years.

In the early 20th century, the building continued serving commercial and mixed uses. In the mid-20th century, it was retained despite surrounding redevelopment: an investor acquired neighboring properties in 1943 and the Broadway Savings Bank purchased the combined site in 1945, but preserved the Kent house while constructing new buildings nearby.

By the 1950s and 1960s, the lower levels of 254 West 23rd Street hosted cultural and retail tenants, including the Regina Gallery exhibiting art shows and later a florist shop. A renovation in 1987 converted the lower levels into a restaurant space, with the Provencal-style Eze opening in 1988.

As of 2024, demolition permits have been filed signaling major redevelopment plans, marking the end of an era for this historic Italianate building that witnessed the evolution of Chelsea from a mid-19th century residential block to a commercial and artistic neighborhood.

Isolar Enterprises, Inc. Testimonial

To Whom It May Concern: We were very fortunate to have Stephen Sunderland as our agent when we began to look for a new office space. Steve totally understood what we were looking for and found us our new home really quickly! He did not waste our time showing us endless properties that didn't meet with our criteria. We are extremely happy here in our new office and we all found Steve to be a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a new space in New York City. Sincerely, Eileen d' Arcy
