    Alexander Roux owns the three-story store and loft building at 53 Mercer Street, dated 1868

    The commission lists 53 Mercer Street as completed in 1868 for Alexander Roux, who also owned the much larger iron building at 47-49 Mercer. It was a store and loft with a brick facade and an iron storefront and cornice. The report cautions that the building was either built in 1868 or drastically altered then.
