THE BUILDING161 West 16th Street is a coveted 20 Story, Chelsea Landmark Building originally consisting of approximately 155 apartments. Completed in 1931 and designed by famed architects Farrar & Watmough, who also designed neighboring London Terrace, the building was part of developer Henry Mandel's grand vision for developing the area he named "Chelsea Corners" in the late 1920's and early 1930's. The magnificently restored marble lobby features fine Venetian plaster walls and the original intricate plaster barrel-vaulted ceiling.
