    Edward Mathews was the original owner of this five-story, three-bay store and storehouse of 1868, designed by James Renwick and Joseph Sands. A cast-iron second floor sits beneath three marble-faced upper floors, all carrying neo-Grec detail. A two-story iron front was unusual for so early a date, and today only the iron pilasters of the original ground-floor entrance survive.
