Construction started on June 7, 1893 and finished in 1894, with Richard Berger as architect and Henry Brunner as owner. The result is a six-story store and warehouse. It was built as two eight-bay halves, nos. 120-122 and 124-126, that share one common facade.

1894
Berger's 120-126 Wooster Street sets delicate ironwork against heavy brick piers
The ground floor has an iron storefront, and brick piers above it divide the facade into four bay groups. The piers carry medallions and indentations, while simpler fluted iron colonnettes separate the windows. A row of arched windows tops the building, under an iron cornice carried on brackets above each pier. The landmarks report contrasts the fine ironwork with the bold, heavy brickwork around it.
