35 Cooper Square

Federal Era Row Houses

35 Cooper Square was one of the oldest buildings on the Bowery and in the East Village. After the City refused to landmark it, it was demolished by a developer in 2011. The ca. 1825 house just south of East 6th Street was one of a shrinking number of surviving federal-era houses in Lower Manhattan with an exceptional cultural history stretching from the estate of Peter Stuyvesant to the Beat Poets.
