    William H. Hume designed this five-story, 26-foot-wide building for Joseph Fisher, probably a New Jersey broker of that name, and it was erected in 1868-70 in place of a three-story frame dwelling. Its stone front is in the Second Empire style over a cast-iron storefront, and a foundry plate from Nichol & Billerwell survives. Among the owners was Horace S. Ely & Company, a real estate firm established in 1853.

    “Designed by William H. Hume for Joseph Fisher, probably the New Jersey broker listed in contemporary directories, it was erected in 1868-70…”

    Lo Scalco, run by chef-owner Mauro Mafrici, earns a Michelin star

    When Michelin published its New York ratings in 2005, Lo Scalco at 313 Church Street received a single star, one of only four Italian restaurants to get one, with Babbo, Fiamma Osteria and Scalini Fedeli. New York magazine's Hal Rubenstein found the dining room strangely lifeless and the service unsure, yet called the pastas of chef-owner Mauro Mafrici some of the finest in the city, naming his hand-cut tortellini and veal ravioli with pistachio sauce.

    Church Street Tavern closes for good and auctions off its fixtures

    Church Street Tavern opened in September 2014 after predecessors at 313 Church such as Bisutoro and Tribeca Canvas, and had closed for good by June 30, 2016, when its fixtures were auctioned. The sale offered kitchen equipment, a 14-foot mahogany bar, round booths and DJ gear. The tavern outlasted many of those predecessors, though two months after opening it drew trouble when its downstairs bar, Bandits Roost, took over part of the building's residential entrance.
