   James Benkard and Benjamin Hutton built 148 Duane Street in 1864-65, together with the corner building next door at 150-152. Their firm imported and wholesaled French, English and German fabrics and acted as American agent for major French textile makers. They had already built 142 to 146 Duane Street in 1859-60, using No. 144 as their headquarters; No. 148 was put up to rent to other dry goods merchants. Its sandstone front mixes Italianate and Second Empire styling.
