2. Anderson Cooper’s Residence at 84 West 3rd Street

repurposed fire station-anderson cooper-w 3rd street

When the Fire Patrol was disbanded in 2006, its last three houses were put up for sale. Anderson Cooper purchased this former 1906 Fire Patrol House in 2010 for $4.3 million and began restoration with architect Cary Tamarkin. The once-abandoned firehouse was returned to its near-original appearance, albeit without the elevated train down W 3rd Street.
