Liberty Tower at 55 Liberty Street was built in 1909 as a commercial office building with high-profile tenants such as president FDR until its conversion in 1979 to a residential cooperative building. At the time of its construction it was believed to be the world's slimmest skyscraper, built in a Gothic Revival style with limestone and white terracotta faade that includes carvings of gargoyles, lions, falcons, and other guardians. Now a landmarked building, Liberty Tower is a full-service cooperative with 24-hour doormen, porters, and live-in resident manager. It allows pied-a-terres and subletting with board approval. Its enviable location in the heart of the Financial District of Manhattan is in close proximity to all major subway lines, the Oculus and Brookfield Place shopping centers, Whole Foods, and the South Street Seaport.
