The Architecture of 67 Vestry: Romanesque Reimagined
67 Vestry is an iconic Romanesque revival building that has been revamped by Gachot Studios and BP Architects. While much of the original architecture has been preserved, 67 Vestry has been given new life as a luxury residential condominium. In this section, we will go over 67 Vestry’s architectural history, and the ways in which it was redesigned by renowned architects.
67 Vestry’s Architectural History: Romanesque Revival
67 Vestry was constructed over 100 years ago in 1896. This 12-story, turn of the century building was designed in the Romanesque revival style popular at the time. Romanesque revival, also known as Neo-romanesque, is a style of architecture that harkens back to 11th and 12th century designs and motifs.
Popular throughout Europe in the middle ages, Romanesque architecture typically featured curved arches, thick walls, and groin vaults. Overall, Romanesque buildings were sturdy and strong. Often, they had small windows but soaring vaulted ceilings.
As time went on, the curved arches of Romanesque architecture transformed into pointed Gothic arches. With Gothic architecture, buildings became more airy, light, and ornate. Gothic architecture saw a rival in NYC in the mid 1800’s with buildings like the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine and the City College of New York.
Romanesque revival buildings, like 67 Vestry, gained popularity starting in the mid-1800s and continued into the new century. 67 Vestry is a perfect example of this architecture, which differs from classic Romanesque design in its sleeker, more modern windows and arches.
67 Vestry was originally a tea and coffee warehouse. It was converted to residential housing in 1977, and became the home of artists and composers like Robert Wilson, John Chamberlain, and Marisol Escobar. Now in 2023, it has been reimagined by BP architects and Gachot Studios into spacious, luxury condominium lofts.

BP Architects is an NYC based architectural and interior design firm with a diverse portfolio of commercial real estate, developments, and private projects. They specialize in historic preservation and reuse projects like 67 Vestry.
Redesigning 67 Vestry
To revitalize 67 Vestry, two additional floors were added, and a new masonry facade was added. It was important to BP architects to preserve the historical bones of the building while refreshing the exterior’s look. In collaboration with Iliad Realty Group, they made this vision a reality.
On the ground floor, round Romanesque arches are supported by sleek but sturdy columns. These archways create a sense of vertical lift that draws the eyes up the rest of the facade. Rows of rectangle windows punctuate 67 Vestry’s exterior while letting light into the spacious interiors. Towards the top of the original building, there is a row of smaller windows interspersed with decorative friezes.
At the very top, two additional floors have been added. These sleek new additions from BP Architects include private terraces and large windows, and are the pinnacle of Tribeca luxury.

Get to Know Tribeca: Its History and Boundaries
Typically, Tribeca’s boundaries are drawn as a triangle. The name, originally an abbreviation styled as TriBeCa, even includes the word triangle. It stands for Triangle Below Canal Street. Canal street serves as the northern border while Chambers street draws the line to the South. The Hudson River creates the western border and Broadway serves as the eastern border.
This triangle (really a quadrilateral) is home to some of the most expensive and coveted real estate in NYC. Originally an industrial region filled with warehouses, Tribeca is now full of converted lofts. This conversion came at the end of the SoHo artist loft boom in the 1970s, and grew in popularity into the 1990s.
These days, Tribeca is known for its beautiful loft apartments and its beautiful Hudson River views–both of which you can find at 67 Vestry. Another big draw to the neighborhood is the excellent food options.
The overall vibe in Tribeca is quiet elegance with a downtown sensibility. Take a look at some more buildings in Tribeca to get a feel for the neighborhood and its available real estate.
