The five-story warehouse at 272 Water Street was built in 1867 as one of a twin pair. Its paneled cast-iron columns support wide, flat-arched openings. Upstairs, many sheet-metal lintels with egg-and-dart molding remain, along with metal sills on iron brackets and the original wooden windows, whose wide central muntin imitates a casement.
