155 Mercer Street is a former firemen's hall, now commercial building, located on Mercer Street, in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City. Built in 1855, the building featured an ornate façade designed by Field & Correja which was largely removed over a series of changes between 1893 and the mid-1970s. The last fire company left the building in 1974.
The Dia Art Foundation acquired the building, opening the Masjid al-Farah Sufi mosque within it in 1980. They also installed several Dan Flavin artworks in 1982. The mosque closed in 1985 with Dia turning the building into rehearsal and performance space largely for contemporary dance the same year. In 1996, while dealing with financial troubles, Dia sold the building to the Joyce Theatre Foundation who continued to run it as a rehearsal and performance space for contemporary dance. Joyce sold the building in 2012 after which it was renovated to echo its original design. 155 Mercer has since been used as a commercial property with a prominent storefront.
