The five-story warehouse at 213-215 Water Street was built in 1868 for A. A. Thompson & Co., a firm dealing in tin and metals. Its architect, Stephen D. Hatch, also designed the Mercantile Building on Astor Place. The upper floors are faced in Tuckahoe marble that can pass for cast iron, with large windows that gave the workrooms more light than the older Greek Revival warehouses nearby.
