Neville & Bagge designed the seven-story Renaissance Revival loft building at 135 Grand Street, built in 1893-94 for Alexander A. Jordan. It rose among the large stores and factories then filling the streets around Broadway, which made SoHo a center of the dry goods trade. Its Ionic-capped brick piers and pressed-metal cornice with swags and scrolled brackets remain largely intact above the altered ground floor.
