Built in 1893 for the estate of John Castree, this six-story loft on the corner of North Moore Street replaced a wood-frame house and stable. Its first occupant was Bogle & Scott, importers of fancy groceries. After 1900 the wholesale grocers Burton & Davis leased it. It was one of three buildings at the intersection that Thomas R. Jackson designed for the Castree estate.

Thomas R. Jackson gives 120 Hudson Street a Renaissance Revival facade with terra-cotta cornices
Jackson designed the corner building in the Renaissance Revival style, with a cast-iron base and a yellow iron-spot brick upper facade in two tiers. Terra-cotta capitals top its pilasters, and a terra-cotta cornice wraps from Hudson Street onto North Moore Street. Windows that light the elevator shaft carry sash with prismatic glass lenses, and three bays on North Moore Street serve as loading bays.
“Designed by the prominent architect Thomas R. Jackson in the Renaissance Revival style…”
