    Construction began on March 16, 1869, and the work was finished that September. Architect Charles Mettam gave the five-story, four-bay building a brick front trimmed with stone and iron. Its owner was Archer, Pancoast & Co., the gas-fixture makers, and the city's landmark survey lists its first use as a factory. The firm also owned the neighboring lots at 70 and 72 Wooster, which Mettam built up the same year.
