A five-story Italianate loft building goes up for John Syms at 255 Canal Street
John Syms had a five-story Italianate loft building put up at 255 Canal Street around 1867-68. Its stone front took cues from the A.T. Stewart store, the city's first Italianate commercial building. Tenants through the nineteenth century included makers of women's hats and pocketbooks, and in the twentieth century drug wholesalers, toy makers and electrical and hardware suppliers.
