Built in 1898-99 for John Walker to designs by Franklin Baylies, this warehouse stands at the corner of West Broadway and Spring Street, listed as 408-410 West Broadway and 165-167 Spring Street. The six-story building has buttressed brick piers on foliated brackets, round-arched windows on the top floor and a dentil cornice. The landmarks report calls it remarkably intact despite some windows being changed.
