You Can Live In The Site Of One Of NYC's Most Notorious Bank Heists

NOHO, NY — The Bleecker Street loft that today is a spacious, luxury home with modern touches comes with a history that, even by NYC standards, is a bit unusual.

The building that houses apartments at 73 Bleecker St. was once a Manhattan bank. But not just any bank: The Manhattan Savings Institution housed the cash, jewelry and valuables of some of the country's wealthiest citizens, including Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Jay Gould, James Fisk Jr. and Cornelius Vanderbilt, according to The Daily Beast.

In 1878, the bank was robbed of $65 million in today's money in what the New York Times called "the most sensational in the history of bank robberies in this country."

So, if you're looking for a cool backstory and have $10 million to spare, this updated loft on Bleecker Street comes with the grandeur of a former bank, albeit with none of the hidden valuables.
