    Thomas Wells has a four-story iron-and-marble store built at 494 Broadway

    The four-story, three-bay store was finished in 1866 for Thomas Wells, with a front of iron and marble. The iron doorstep is signed J. Nicholas, which the Landmarks Preservation Commission's inventory suggests means he may have done all the iron work. The architect is unknown.
