Built in 1869, 425 Broadway is a five-story, three-bay building that the Landmarks Preservation Commission thinks was one of Griffith Thomas's first with a cast-iron front. Its square-headed windows have curved corners and sit between plain columns, each floor has its own projecting cornice, and a curved pediment tops the heavy entablature. The commission contrasts its restraint with the ornate cast iron of 427-429 next door.
