    In the early 1850s Suffern rebuilt the lot as a double-width, five-story marble Italianate building, with a cast-iron ground floor supplied by the Architectural Iron Works Co. Once it was finished, J.A. Sweetser & Co., a dry goods jobbing firm, took the lease. It was the earliest of the store and loft buildings in what is now the Tribeca South Extension, and it stayed in the Suffern estate until 1920.
