    Architects Schweitzer & Greve designed 444 and 452 Broadway for Edward Mathews, and the two warehouses were built together between November 1876 and July 1877. Each has a five-story, three-bay cast-iron facade from the Long Island Iron Works, with slim neo-Grec columns and pierced arch tracery in front of the windows. The Landmarks Preservation Commission compared the effect to Richard Morris Hunt's building at 478-482 Broadway. The pair are connected at the rear along Crosby Street.
