Knickerbocker Village

A Depression-era complex of 12 thirteen-story buildings (1,590 apartments) completed in 1934 by developer Fred F. French — the first US apartment development to receive federal funding, replacing the tuberculosis-plagued 'Lung Block.' Julius and Ethel Rosenberg later lived on the eleventh floor of 10 Monroe Street. It's an occupied residential complex, so visiting means viewing from the surrounding streets.
