Built in 1910, the distinguished Chelsea Mercantile was originally the home of a fabric manufacturer then became the Veteran's Administration Building after World War II. Its conversion to lofts in 2000 created prestigious living quarters in the heart of Chelsea's shops, restaurants, galleries, nightlife and landmarks. A block away you can catch multiple subway lines and the PATH train; plus the M20 bus stops right outside your door.
