The Upjohn Building, an eight-story brick loft with metal windows and a pedimented door on Seventh Avenue South, was built in 1920 for the Upjohn Company. Hobart B. Upjohn designed it, and he was the grandson of Richard Upjohn, the architect of Trinity Church. Apart from the doorway the report finds it utilitarian and nearly free of ornament. It was altered in 1957 and also has an entrance at 32 Morton Street.
“…it was built in 1920 for the Upjohn Company and was designed by Hobart B. Upjohn, the grandson of the architect of Trinity Church.”
