A brownstone Italianate loft goes up at 12 Bowery in the 1860s
The four-story, three-bay loft at 12 Bowery dates to about the 1860s and is faced in brownstone. The Bowery nomination notes its round-arched windows with stylized hoods and an intact cornice, and points to it as a modest counterpart at the southern end of the street to the large Cooper Union Foundation Building at the northern end.
