41 Union Square
New York City

Artists adore this 19th century gem. The 16-story building is filled with studios, bustling at all hours of the day and night. 41 Union Square’s main lobby was restored in 2000, bringing back to life its gilded ceiling and mosaic flooring. The elevators have been completely modernized (completed Spring 2006), with marble interiors and state-of-the-art technology.
