    Architect Charles E. Hadden designed this five-story brick store and loft building, which went up in 1885 for its owner, Robert A. Kinkel. Its fluted cast-iron columns at street level carry rosettes and egg-and-dart molding, and the corbelled brick cornice is typical of neo-Grec design. The Landmarks Preservation Commission notes that the storefront has been altered but the building remains largely intact.

    Spectrum Gallery and later Art et Industrie Gallery show art at 464 West Broadway

    Spectrum Gallery was a tenant here in 1971, and the Art et Industrie Gallery followed in 1982. A clothing boutique, French Corner, occupied the ground floor from 1994 to 2010. The upper floors have been converted to apartments, reflecting the building's shift from small factories to galleries, lofts and shops.
