    A marble Italianate store and loft goes up at 45 Warren Street on Trinity Church land

    Around 1854 a five-story marble building was put up at 45 Warren Street, one of a pair with No. 47, on land owned by Trinity Church. The developer was either William S. Sears or the hardware merchants William H. Churchill and Henry Rogers. Churchill and Rogers's firm apparently did not use the building and held it as an investment until 1859. Among its early occupants was the cloth dealer Sutton, Beach & Co.

    “The building was developed by either William S. Sears, of whom nothing is known, or Pearl Street hardware merchants William H. Churchill and Henry Rogers…”
