The Schumacher was constructed in 1885 to house the Schumacher and Ettlinger lithographic printing business. Designed by Edward E. Raht, the 6-story structure is in the Romanesque Revival style and included flourishes such as corbelled brick layering, ornamental overhangs, radiating lintels, arched windows, as well as parapets and turrets. The building and 20 residences have been completely re-imagined by Morris Adjmi for architecture and interiors, celebrated gallerist Cristina Grajales for the curation and design of public spaces, and vaunted Ken Smith for the reinvention of the building's glorious courtyard garden. The condominium's features include 24-hour doorman service, a fully equipped fitness center, a library overlooking the garden, children's playroom, and a lushly landscaped rooftop garden, refrigerated lobby storage, and bicycle storage. Note: Real Estate taxes shown are full un-abated taxes. If purchasing as primary residence in one's own name you may be eligible to file for and receive a 17.5% abatement on taxes annually.
