    Historic district nomination describes 1 Mott Street as a mid-19th-century Italianate flatiron

    The National Register nomination for the Chinatown and Little Italy Historic District, prepared in 2009, lists 1 Mott Street, at the corner of Worth Street, as a store, loft and tenement. It describes a four-story brick flatiron whose Worth and Mott fronts each have five bays, with one more bay at the corner. Some two-over-two wood sash windows and flat stone lintels survive, and the nomination dates the building to the mid-19th century in the Italianate style.

    “1 Mott Store, Loft, Tenement. Four-story brick flatiron with five bays on Worth and Five on Mott, with a single bay at the corner.”
