136 Baxter was clearly “built by people who love architecture.” What the neighborhood may lack in instant charm, the building makes up for in its uniqueness and impeccable conversion. Like 11 Spring Street a short walk away in the northeast, the Machinery Exchange also was a horse’s stable, becoming a machinery warehouse just prior to the Great Depression. Unlike many conversions that lose the suppleness of the original structure, the Exchange’s wood and brick construction maintains a lightness that too often gets lost among the high ceilings and loft spaces. Its yellow pine ceilings and red oak floors bring a welcome warmth to this Little Italy residence.
