    Millstone supplier William S. Livingston runs his business from a small building here

    Before the present warehouse, William S. Livingston, a supplier of millstones, kept his business in a two-story building put up on this site in 1882, with stables at the rear of the lots. The small adjoining lot at 69 North Moore Street held a wood-frame house from 1821, which Livingston later acquired.

    In 1890 Livingston took out an alteration permit and built a large L-shaped six-story store and loft building for his importing business. He acted as his own architect, with Phillip Herman's Son as builder. The Seeman Brothers grocery business and the Unity Warehouse were among later tenants, and Unity's signage is still visible.

    A utilitarian red-brick warehouse borrows Romanesque arches at the fifth story

    The building has a 75-foot front on Greenwich Street. Its base has slim loading bays set between granite pillars and secondary cast-iron piers, under a red-brick upper facade. Round-arched fifth-story windows hint at an arcade, a nod to the architect-designed warehouses of the day, and a corbelled brick cornice finishes the top. Bluestone slabs and a stepped vault still lie in front of the Greenwich Street side.

    “…with narrow loading bays at the base framed by granite pillars and secondary cast-iron piers and a red brick upper facade…”
