From hotel corner to commercial lofts
126 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York, NY 10011. The city’s Ladies’ Mile Historic District report records this building as 126–128 Fifth Avenue, at the southwest corner of West 18th Street. Robert Maynicke designed the 15-story Beaux-Arts store-and-loft building for Henry Corn in 1905–06. It replaced the Hotel Logerot. A hat firm, a woolen mill and a ribbon company were among the early tenants.
What to look for from the sidewalk
Start on Fifth Avenue with the heavy limestone base, then look up past the buff-brick middle floors to the arches and terra-cotta trim near the top. Turn onto West 18th Street to see how the same design extends along a frontage twice as wide in window bays. Compare it with the neighboring 122–124 Fifth Avenue, an earlier building for the same developer and architect with prominent arches much lower on the façade.
Athleta’s store locator identifies its 18th & 5th shop at 126 Fifth Avenue. Check the shop’s own hours and contact information.
