   Two six-story buildings are cut down to two stories and merged at 257-259 Canal Street

   The two-story brick building at 257-259 Canal Street began as a pair of six-story commercial buildings put up between 1853 and 1857. In 1925 architect Edward E. Bloodgood reduced their height, joined them inside and gave them a new design for owner Banyer Clarkson. The landmarks commission ties the change to a time when SoHo was declining as a business district and many buildings were abandoned or torn down.
