About The Building

Shaker House was built in 1923 as a tenement house in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Over the years the building fell into disrepair and finally became vacant and uninhabitable. Realizing that the building was structurally sound, indeed even sturdier than a modern structure, the developers undertook to rehabilitate this solid masonry building with its 3 inch thick limestone facade. It was stripped down to the core and rebuilt to be as good as new, retaining the basic interior layout as it was years ago.
