    Eugene Langdon's five-story store gets a storefront from Badger's iron works

    The district report dates 506 Broadway to 1856, possibly 1854, and names Eugene Langdon as the original owner of the store. Its storefront came from Badger's Architectural Iron Works, and it once shared a matching facade with 508 next door. Originally five stories, the building has since been cut down to about three and a half.
