   In 1897 Denison P. Chesebro and Alexander Brown Jr. had Buchman & Deisler design a 30-foot-wide, six-story warehouse at what is now 59-63 North Moore Street. Title to the land was held by the Protestant Episcopal Society, a church body devoted to promoting religion and learning, so the two men leased it rather than buying. The warehouse replaced two masonry rowhouses. In 1907 James Gavigan added a 25-foot-wide extension that copied the original design, bringing the building to 56 feet wide.

2. 1907

   Seeman Brothers, a wholesale grocer, leases the enlarged warehouse at 59-63 North Moore

   When the 1907 addition was complete, Seeman Brothers, a wholesale grocery firm, became the warehouse tenant. The firm later occupied most of the buildings on this blockfront, and it stayed there until the middle of the twentieth century.
