Third Street Arcade living

Shared-bathroom, sleeping-room apartments of the Third Street Arcade building are finished with quarter-sawn oak trim, stippled and frosted glass-windowed doors and bathrooms with marble wainscoting and marble fixtures.

Unoccupied since 1978, the “patina of age” (as CityWide Architect John Gower calls it) has redecorated the apartments to offer textures that would cost a fortune to recreate. These spaces are expected to be developed into living space in phase two of a planned renovation.
