1872
Amos Eno has Robert Mook design seven West Broadway buildings, including 427 and 429
The architect Robert Mook drew up seven buildings on West Broadway for Amos R. Eno, whom a preservation report describes as a wealthy SoHo landowner. Four of them stand on the east side of the street, among them the cast-iron-fronted 427 and 429 of 1872, the marble-fronted 431 of the same year and the brick building at 411 from 1888. The marble store at 431 differs in style from its two neighbors.

December
Cast-iron stores at 427 and 429 West Broadway share a five-story facade finished in 1872
Robert Mook's buildings at 427 and 429 West Broadway were built together between July and December 1872 for Amos Eno, with James Rue as builder. They form one five-story cast-iron facade of eight bays, with slender columns, neo-Grec ornament and acanthus brackets. The city's landmark report says the overall effect is one of restraint, lightness and openness.
