    Trench & Snook drew up the plans for this five-story store and loft in 1847, but it was not built until 1851-52, for William White, a local haberdasher. Its brownstone front on Canal Street is Italianate in style, and the cast-iron storefront was made by Daniel D. Badger's Architectural Iron Works. The building runs through the block to Lispenard Street, and it has an identical twin next door at No. 302.

    “Designed by Trench & Snook in 1847, it was erected in 1851-52 for local haberdasher William White.”
