A fire in 1892 damages an earlier six-story furniture and clothing store on the lot of 78 Bowery
The National Register nomination for the Bowery Historic District says an earlier building on this lot, a six-story furniture and clothing store, stood here in the mid-nineteenth century. A fire in 1892 damaged about 15 percent of its original structure, and its upper floors were rebuilt afterward. The address later held a jewelry business.
