1. 1868

   Millinery dealers Mayer and Jacob Sternberger have a marble-faced loft built at 76 Franklin Street

   Mayer and Jacob Sternberger, who traded in millinery goods, had the building put up in 1866-68, replacing a small frame dwelling. Its marble front has three bays of segmental-arched windows on every floor. It went up together with Nos. 78 and 80 Franklin Street, and the three are most likely the work of Samuel A. Warner, who owned No. 78.

   “No. 76 was built for Mayer and Jacob Sternberger, dealers in millinery goods.”

2. 1893

   Two notions wholesalers, an underwear agent and two neckwear firms share 76 Franklin Street

   In 1893 the building held two notions wholesalers, two neckwear firms and an underwear manufacturer's agents. The Landmarks Preservation Commission uses it as an example of a district loft shared by several firms. Such lofts typically had loading and sales areas and some offices on the ground floor, more offices on the second, storage above, and showrooms where buyers could see the goods.
