    Jeremiah W. Dimick owned this five-story Italianate building, built in 1873-74 from designs by John H. Whitenack. It went up soon after Laurens Street was widened to carry the elevated railway, a project that demolished many buildings on the street's west side and led to its renaming as South Fifth Avenue. The three-bay front is cast iron, with paneled and fluted columns at street level and a bracketed roof cornice.

    “…designed by architect John H. Whitenack and built in 1873-74 for owner Jeremiah W. Dimick shortly after Laurens Street was widened (to accommodate the elevated train)…”

    Cap makers, cloak sellers and a paint-and-chemicals firm occupy 422 West Broadway over six decades

    An 1874 listing places Hillensbeck & Adler, in the cloth-cap trade, in the new building. By 1899 the cloak dealer L.A. Behr was listed at the address, and from 1912 to 1937 the firm of Emmerman & Baumoehl dealt in paints and chemicals there. The tenants fit SoHo's long run as a district of small factories and warehouses.

    422 West Broadway turns to dining and boutiques, from the Wine Bar in 1979 to a Salviati jewelry shop in 2006

    The building's later tenants show SoHo's change from manufacturing to dining and shopping. The Wine Bar is recorded at 422 West Broadway in 1979, and Vuccieria, an Italian restaurant, in 1989. A TAG Heuer boutique is listed in 2002 and the jewelry seller Salviati in 2006, by which time the upper floors had been converted to loft apartments.

    “…the Wine Bar (1979); Vuccieria, Italian cuisine (1989); TAG Heuer SoHo Boutique (2002); and Salviati, jewelry (2006)…”
