Fred S. Schlesinger completes a two-story store and light-manufacturing building for James H. Sillcocks
Work on 120-124 Prince Street ran from November 1, 1892, to May 21, 1893. The two-story, five-bay building of brick, stone and iron was meant for stores and light manufacturing. It shares one facade with the neighboring No. 126, which Schlesinger designed for the same owner over the same months.

Metal signs for a lithographer and a stationer still mark the facade, relics of the manufacturing era
Two metal signs flank the ends of the shared two-story facade of the buildings at 120-126 Prince Street. One advertises lithographing and engraving, the other stationery, office supplies, paper and twine. Ephemeral New York noted in 2017 that they recall the district's industrial past, when the area was known as Hell's Hundred Acres and machinery ran all day in the surrounding loft buildings.
