Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This historic church building is currently operated as The Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum, which opened to the public in 2006. Originally built in 1911 and designed by Solon Spencer Beman, the structure features a six-columned portico with fluted Ionic columns, a classic porch, and a pediment. Inside, the property includes a cavernous foyer leading to a large, pillared hall with terrazzo flooring and a coffered ceiling, along with a lit canopy that arches across the former sanctuary.

The exterior is characterized by rough-textured masonry, vibrant red roof tiles, and 25-foot picture windows. The property is designed to complement its corner lot, and it was recently featured in the film Nightmare Alley.

The building is being sold in as-is condition.
