Simon Dezer Building (New York City, New York)

 office building, movie / film / TV location

150-foot, 11-story Renaissance-revival office building completed in 1902. Designed by Robert Maynicke as a store-and-loft building, its 2-story base is faced with large blocks of rusticated stone. The central storefront contains many original details such as the large kalamein-fronted display window set below a sloping roof. Two doorways flank the storefront; the southern doorway retains its triangular pediment supported by consoles, while the northern doorway is crowned by a projecting flat lintel. The 2nd floor contains a large central bay containing three pairs of windows separated by slender fluted mullions. There is another window over each doorway. A dentiled cornice crowns the base.

The transitional 3rd floor is faced in buff-colored brick banded with terra-cotta. Each of the five bays has terra-cotta surrounds framing paired windows. Above the terra-cotta cornice, floors 4-8 continue the pattern of the 3rd floor, but without the terra-cotta banding. At the 9th floor terra-cotta bands flank segmental-arched window openings, capped by voussoirs and keystones. Above a narrow terra-cotta cornice the 10th & 11th floors continue the pattern with square-headed window openings and bracketed terra-cotta sills. The original metal roof cornice completes the facade.

Early tenants included a branch location of the prominent Chicago department store Marshall Field & Co., listed in 1911. Spiegel & Strauss, neckware merchants, were listed as tenants in 1915 and 1920. Other tenants included cloak and suit merchants and lace merchants. A wide variety of tenants continue to occupy the offices.

The ground floor and 2nd story are occupied by Aritzia women's apparel. In 2024, the exterior was used as a filming location for "Venom: The Last Dance".
