THE ARCHITECT & THE BUILDING

Built in 1909, and designed by Henry Ives Cobb, Liberty Tower is one of the early romantic skyscrapers that changed the skyline of Manhattan. It is a 33 story Gothic Revival landmark building in the Financial District. Over the years its office tenants included the Sinclair Oil Company and a precursor of the accounting firm of Coopers Lybrand. It's ornate English Gothic design was copied on a larger scale, with variations, three years later by Cass Gilbert for the famous Woolworth Building, facing City Hall Park. In 1980, the conversion of Liberty Tower introduced residential use to the Financial District. Joseph Pell Lombardi, as both architect and investor, designed the interiors, restored the historic elements, and converted the building to 89 residential units.
