The ten-story Jones Building rises at Duane and Elk Streets
Architect Albert Wagner designed the ten-story Jones Building at 5-13 Elk Street and 52-58 Duane Street, which was built in 1897-99. Its site included part of an old iron works and a few small buildings by the corner of Elm (Elk) and Duane Streets. The widening of Elm Street, renamed Lafayette Street in the 1890s, cut off the eastern edge of the block and set off new building nearby.
