The 1813 Mott warehouse at 40 Peck Slip is raised to four stories in 1872
In 1872 the former Mott warehouse at 40 Peck Slip was raised from its original three stories to four. Its windows do not line up with those of its neighbors, which may mean its facade was altered separately from theirs. The ground floor was modernized in the second half of the 19th century and shows some cast-iron features, among them narrow rectangular columns.
“No. 40 was raised to four stories in 1872 ... the windows of No. 40 do not align with the other buildings, may indicate this facade was altered separately.”
