This striking six-story loft building, which runs the entire block from Broadway to Fourth Avenue behind Grace Church, was designed in 1887 by James Renwick, noted architect of St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Grace Church, along with partners James Lawrence Aspinwall and William Hamilton Russell. The building was home to notable publishers connected to the likes of Norman Rockwell and clothing manufacturers. It was the scene of significant labor disputes, and played a pivotal role in Caleb Carr’s mystery novel The Alienist.
