A Mother-Daughter Purchase Lands in a Chelsea Prewar

· 1 min read

Jemima Kirke, long associated with Brooklyn, has crossed the river with her mother, the pair closing on a co-op in a prewar Chelsea building. Prewar co-ops in that neighborhood are prized for exactly what the name promises: thick walls, high ceilings, and boards that still ask questions before they let anyone in. A mother and daughter buying together in one is its own kind of vote of confidence in the building and in each other. It marks a notable address change for a name New York has long filed under Brooklyn.

With reporting from Curbed.
