SoHo holds the largest collection of cast-iron building facades in the world, roughly 250 structures citywide with most of them here, built mostly between 1840 and 1880 as commercial and manufacturing space. ## What SoHo does to a home appliance. The SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District, landmarked in 1973 and extended in 2010, covers about 26 blocks and 500 buildings, and it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978. Most residential lofts in the district began as illegal conversions of industrial floors in the 1970s, before the 1982 Loft Law gave those artist-occupied spaces formal rent protection and legal status.
