Two old tenements are rejoined as one five-story apartment house after their rear foundations collapse
The building at 114-116 Thompson Street started as two identical four-story tenements with basements, standing before 1844. After the back foundations of the pair collapsed, owner Martin Schulman hired Wechsler & Schimenti in 1959-1960 to join them behind a single brick front. The result is a five-story apartment house, now called True North SoHo, which the landmarks commission treats as non-contributing within the Sullivan-Thompson Historic District.
