 office building, 1883_construction

6-story office building completed in 1883. Designed by J. Morgan Slade. In 1885, a new light-grey galvanized iron cornice was installed following a fire. The first story retains its original cast-iron storefront framing which follows the design of the upper facade. The recessed windows are segmental-arched. A black metal fire escape runs down the center of the facade, which is crowned by a large triangular pediment. The building was used by various textile firms well into the late 20th century.
