Frederick Clarke Withers, a Gothic Revival architect who had been an assistant and then partner of Calvert Vaux, is credited with only one cast-iron building, and it stands at 448 Broome Street. He moved his practice to New York City after 1863, but many of his urban designs went unrealized. Among his better-known city commissions was the Astor memorial altar and reredos at Trinity Church of 1876-77.
