caption_attribution_description: 153 Pierrepont Street at Cadman Plaza Plaza West in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, Nww York City is the Lower School Building of Saint Ann's School. The building was originally four row houses at 151-157 Pierrepont, built c.1850-1870, that were combined together c.1897 as the Wilson Building, which was used by the Commonwealth Masonic Lodge. The Lodge moved out in 1910, but continued to rent out the Commonwealth Masonic Hall until c.1915, when it was converted for use as offices. Around 1925-27, the building underwent a major renovation for better use as a commercial office building. It received a new facade at this time. Saint Ann's School purchased the building in 2001 and opened it as the Farber Building for the 2003-2004 school year.
