The Bedford Exchange Building
Turning the clock back to 1891, the New York and New Jersey Telephone Company started building two interconnected edifices in 601-619 Throop.
The Story

The New York and New Jersey Telephone Exchange
Built in 1905 and progressively unified by 1913, the two buildings boast ample light and an impressive presence inspired by the Italian Renaissance Revival architectural style.

Warehouses and social service buildings
After 1938, the two buildings would remain warehouses and later serve the local community as social service and healthcare spaces.
1971
Landmarked
The building’s rich history led to being recognized as a Landmark as part of the Stuyvesant Heights HD in 1971.
