The Mott brothers' 1813 warehouse at 38 Peck Slip starts as three stories under a peaked roof
The warehouse at 38 Peck Slip went up in 1813 as part of a group of three built for the dry-goods merchants William and John Mott. It began as three stories under a peaked roof and now stands five stories high; the dates of the added floors are not known. In the second half of the 19th century its ground floor was modernized, and it keeps some cast-iron parts, including narrow rectangular columns like those at No. 40. Matching dentiled brick cornices on Nos. 36, 38 and 40 suggest the three may have been raised together.
