7. Chamber’s Beauty Spa 160 Chambers Street

Repurposed Fire Station Chambers Beauty Spa Tribeca NYC Untapped Cities

160 Chambers Street was built in 1862 and was originally the Third Precinct Police Station. In 1875, it was taken over by the House of Relief but by 1894 was too crowded and unsanitary to function as a hospital. The NYC Fire Department took over and renovated the building for Engine Company 29.

Two decades later, the house was decommissioned and was used as a lumber and building materials yard on the ground floor. In 1983 it was converted into commercial space and apartments. Today, it’s the location of Chamber’s Beauty Spa.
