The Bayard–Condict Building is a twelve-story Chicago School skyscraper at 65 Bleecker Street in Manhattan's NoHo neighborhood, designed by Louis Sullivan in collaboration with Lyndon P. Smith and completed in 1899. The only building Sullivan designed in New York City, it features a distinctive terracotta façade organized into three horizontal sections: an ornate ground story with storefronts and an arched entrance, vertical piers dividing the upper stories into five bays with elaborate spandrel panels, and six winged angels positioned just below the cornice. Its steel frame supports retail space on the lower two stories and large loft-like spaces above, with mechanical systems concentrated in a western core. Designated a New York City landmark in 1975 and a National Historic Landmark in 1976, the building has undergone significant restoration, including façade work in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
