History
It was built in 1905–1909, and was designed by the firm of Hoppin & Koen. 240 Centre housed the headquarters of the New York City Police Department from 1909 to 1973, and was converted into a luxury co-op building in 1988 by the firm of Ehrenkranz Group & Eckstut. It is now known as the Police Building Apartments.[2][3][4][5]
240 Centre Street replaced an older building nearby on Mulberry Street, where Theodore Roosevelt had served as New York City Police Commissioner.[6] Following the 1898 consolidation of the five boroughs into the City of Greater New York, the police department also expanded and needed a new headquarters building.
The Police Building was designated a New York City landmark in 1978,[2] and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
