Architect Isaac F. Duckworth designed the five-story, marble-faced Italianate building at 428 Broome Street (41 Crosby Street), built in 1868-69 for Frederick M. Peyser. Its first story is cast iron, and the L-shaped plan gives it a second, brick-and-stone facade on Crosby Street. The facade is nearly identical to that of 426 Broome Street, built a year later.
