A former electrical transformer building at 421 East 6th Street becomes a multi-use commercial building
The neo-Classical brick building at 421 East 6th Street, also listed as 108 East 7th Street, was built in 1919 for the New York Edison Company as an electrical transformer building. In 1963 it was converted into a commercial building with multiple uses. It has a large double-height window on its main facade, and a one-story concrete garage faces East 7th Street.
“This building was converted from its initial use as an electrical transformer building to a multi-use commercial structure in 1963.”
