☞ REVIVE: 371-373 Manhattan Avenue

A Bespoke Reader had the following question on 371-373 Manhattan Avenue:

 "This double wide building (two combined townhouses) which had been used as a church for many years, has been the subject of a few prior posts. It's on the west side of Manhattan Ave. just south of 116th. It appears to have finally sold back in April for $1.2M to Blue Ashes LLC... I walked by there yesterday and demo has started. I always thought the property had great potential, but it was on the market a very long time. The only drawback for me is the bus stop right in front of the building -- the #7, #116 and #3 all stop there so it's a lot of noise and fumes, especially on the lower floors. (I) Am curious to know if they can and will build higher."

We could not find anything on this building as far as DOB permits or architectural diagrams online.  A broker in the past mentioned that a local artist purchased the building formerly used as a church and this could possibly be studio space in the future.  Does anyone else have tips on other tips on this building?

  1. I sold the property to 2 artists two months ago. They will renovate into artist studios. They are not selling.

  2. We received another tip about the notable artist but can not publish the information at this point for personal privacy concerns.

  3. Glad to hear of more artists coming to Harlem and Brian, congrats on the sale. Hope the artists do something to the façade, it looks awfully plain especially in comparison to it’s neighbors.
