office building, 1909_construction
10-story office building completed in 1909. Designed by Maynicke & Franke as a warehouse known as the Strohmeyer & Arpe Company Building. It was also later called the Sapco Building. The design is embellished with Neo-Renaissance elements. The 6-bay facade, which by conforming to the irregular street configuration has a chamfered eastern bay, is composed of a 2-story base and an 8-story upper section. Faced in coursed stone, the base retains its segmental-arched entranceway of polished-stone Tuscan columns and an entablature, containing paired wood doors and a transom. To the west, cast-iron piers and a pressed-metal cornice survive, framing the historic wood infill of the five loading bays. A loading platform and metal awning with skylights extend across these five bays.
At the 2nd floor the coursed stone separates simple rectangular window openings and supports a stone cornice. Giant piers span the brick-faced upper section of the building, broken only by a cornice above the 8th floor. The windows mostly have flat stone lintels, although some have segmental brick arches. Spandrels are of unadorned brick except below the 3rd floor's end bays and below the top floor, where they support a geometric pattern. The parapet is characterized by corbelled brick and is raised at the end bays.
In 1920-21 a rear bridge was built to connect this building to 27 Leonard Street. It was converted to a warehouse to offices beginning in 2011.
