John DeWolfe has a four-story stone store built at 481 Broadway, its iron storefront later catalogued by Badger
No. 481 Broadway was completed in 1855-56 as a four-story stone store for its owner, John DeWolfe, and its architect is unknown. Its storefront was listed in the 1865 catalog of Badger's Architectural Iron Works. The building runs through to Mercer Street, and later alterations removed the cornice and window ornament and filled in windows, leaving some iron on the ground floor.
