This is a single family home, this whole building, single family. Before I get to how much it sold for, let’s talk about how it got here. This building was constructed in 1911 for the Switzer Home. This was a charity that allowed immigrant women and girls to live in a safe place and learn skills like sewing or typing. The Switzer sisters were immigrants themselves who ended up making a ton of money and are an excellent example of not pulling up the ladder behind you. In 1932, it was purchased by the St. Joseph’s church to initially house their boys’ school, and eventually the entire school. It would continue to be used for education after that. When the St. Joseph’s school closed in 1974, the building was rented to St. Vincent’s Hospital School of Nursing. In 2002, the building sold yet again, this time for $3 million to the New York Foundling Hospital, which helped “abused, neglected, and abandoned children”. In typical New York fashion, despite all the good this building has done, it was bought and converted into a single-family home in 2014. Its interior was completely gutted and now provides 15,000 square feet of living space. The selling price was $47.5 million. It was landmarked as part of the Greenwich Village Historic District on April 29, 1969.
