James Renwick Jr. designs a public charities building on this site
Architect James Renwick Jr., known for Grace Church and St. Patrick's Cathedral, designed an earlier Neo-Grec building with a mansard roof here for New York City's Department of Public Charities and Correction, replacing a wooden market structure from 1830. It stood on the site now occupied by the Third Avenue movie theater.

Workers strip the mansard roof to convert the building into a garage
In 1917 the Renwick-designed charities building was converted into a barn and garage, and its mansard roof removed. Developers eventually demolished the structure entirely, and Loews built the movie theater standing at 66 Third Avenue in 1989.
