📦 Fleming Smith Warehouse

The Fleming Smith Warehouse is a six-story residential building at 451–453 Washington Street in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City, New York, United States. Designed by Stephen Decatur Hatch, it combines Romanesque Revival and neo-Flemish architectural elements. The building has a facade clad in rusticated blocks of sandstone, while the rest of the facade is clad in brick; the roof is made of ornate gables. It was originally a warehouse commissioned in 1891 by Fleming Smith, who had previously hired Hatch to design another warehouse in the area. In the 1970s, the building was one of Tribeca's first commercial structures to be renovated into apartments, and the Capsouto family renovated the ground floor into a restaurant. After the Capsouto restaurant closed in 2012, the space became a Chinese restaurant and then a social club.
