   The Stevens mansion on Broadway comes down for a new Brooks Brothers store

   Adele L.S. Stevens lived in a mansion spanning 670, 672 and 674 Broadway, known for the Stevens collection of paintings. By August 1873 it had been demolished and a new building was going up. The New York Times predicted it would add to the beauty of Broadway and put the cost, apart from the land, at $275,000, with J.W. and George E. Harney as architects.

The first floor sold ready-made and custom clothing, the second floor custom and military goods, and the upper stories held workshops and storerooms. For many years afterward a men's clothing manufacturer, Hornthal & Whitehead & Weissman Co., occupied the building.
