The Wilbraham is a stunning, landmarked, pre-war co-op building located in the heart of
NoMad. It was built in 1890 by prominent Scottish-American jeweler William Moir and was
designed by D. & J. Jardine. The handsome, eight story building once served as a bachelor's
hotel and was an annex of the nearby Waldorf Astoria. The Wilbraham is an extraordinarily well-
detailed reflection of the Romanesque Revival style, with its exterior featuring a splendid
combination of Philadelphia brick, Belleville brownstone, and cast iron. An iconic cast-iron
staircase connects all levels including the exquisitely restored lobby. The building was
converted for cooperative use in 1989 and awarded landmark designation in 2004. An elevator
services all floors of the impeccably maintained building, which also features an on-site laundry
room. Nearby transportation includes the N/R/W/B/D/F/M (.1 mi), PATH (.2 mi), and 6 (.2 Mi).
Equally a historic destination and a modern cultural phenomenon, NoMad is figuratively and
literally the center of New York City culture. It is here that fine dining, hospitality, shopping,
nightlife, arts, and culture find common ground. The neighborhood blends the elegant
architecture of the gilded age with the progressive and modern aesthetic of many visionary
architects of the twenty-first century. Within just a few blocks you will find many boutique hotels
including the globally celebrated Nomad hotel and the highly anticipated Virgin Hotel and Ritz-
Carlton Nomad, with dining by Michelin-starred chef Jos Andrs. Landmark attractions such as
the Empire State Building, The Flatiron Building, and Madison Square Park are steps away.
