57 Great Jones Street is a building in the NoHo historic district of Manhattan, New York City. It first gained attention as the clubhouse of the Five Points Gang, considered by a contemporary journalist as the "largest and best organized gang in New York" and the site of a bystander's murder during a wild gun fight in 1905. Eighty-three years later, then owned by Andy Warhol, it was Jean-Michel Basquiat's studio/apartment and the site of his overdose death. In 2023 Angelina Jolie rented it as a space for artistic collaboration. The building is a two-story brick structure on an "L"-shaped lot measuring about 25 feet wide and 75 feet deep. It possesses a facade that predominantly features arched windows in a Romanesque Revival style. Although residential tenants have sometimes lived there, most have been businesses. Often used as a saloon in early years, it has also been occupied by small manufacturers, retail outlets, auction houses, restaurants, and galleries.

The Bouwerie Lane Theatre is a former bank building which became an Off-Broadway theatre, located at 330 Bowery at Bond Street in Manhattan, New York City. It is located in the NoHo Historic District. The cast-iron building, which was constructed from 1873-1874, was designed by Henry Engelbert in the Italianate style for the Atlantic Savings Bank, which became the Bond Street Saving Bank before the building was completed. When the bank failed in 1879, the building was sold to the German Exchange Bank, which served the German immigrant community. Prior to the 1960s, the building was used for the storage of fabrics. Then in 1963, the building was converted into a theater by Honey Waldman, who produced several plays there. From 1974 to 2006, it was the home of the Jean Cocteau Repertory Theatre.Among the many plays and musicals that were produced at the theatre, the first was The Immoralist (1963) with Frank Langella, Dames at Sea (1968), Night and Day (2000) by Tom Stoppard, Brecht's The Threepenny Opera (2003), and the Cocteau's final production, Jean Genet's The Maids X 2 (2006).The building was purchased by Adam Gordon in 2007 for conversion into a private mansion with a climbing wall, and the Bowery street front used for retail. In 1967, the building was designated a New York City landmark, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The AIA Guide to New York City calls it "One of the most sophisticated cast-iron buildings."
