    Thomas Keogh and architect A. V. Porter finish 46 Great Jones Street, a companion to 48-52 next door

    In the late 1800s Thomas W. Keogh acquired a large share of the north side of Great Jones Street and filled it with store-and-loft buildings. In 1896-97 he had A. V. Porter design this seven-story building, which shares its grouped windows, two-story limestone base and bracketed cornice with the adjacent 48-52 Great Jones Street.

  2. 1979

    Artists convert 46 Great Jones Street to cooperative live/work lofts

    Before World War II the building held garment, hat and leather-goods businesses; afterward came metal, chemical and leather firms and publishers such as the All-Slavic Publishing House. As manufacturing declined in the 1960s and 70s, artists wanting open loft space replaced commercial tenants. A 1979 alteration converted it to joint live/work quarters, and it is now a cooperative apartment building.
