The Roebling Building is an industrial structure at 169 Hudson Street in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City.
Dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, it was named after the John A. Roebling family, known for their work in wire rope manufacturing, most notably used in the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge.
The building originally served as a warehouse and manufacturing facility for John A. Roebling's Sons Company, contributing to New York City’s industrial economy during its period of rapid growth.
[5][6][7] Cast-iron detailing is incorporated throughout the building, reflecting common material choices of the era for both structural and decorative purposes.
The interior features open floor plans, originally intended to accommodate manufacturing operations, along with timber beams and columns that remain visible.
[7][14] As the neighborhood transitioned from its industrial past to an area frequented by artists and, subsequently, to a sought-after residential and commercial district, the Roebling Building remained an important part of this evolution.
