    Work on No. 78 Grand Street began in August 1881 and finished by the end of 1882, when the five-story store was ready for its owner, F. A. Kursheedt. Robert Mook was the architect. The three-bay iron front was cast by the firm of Lindsay, Grafe & Meguier, which also supplied the iron for the 1872 building at 83-87 Grand Street across the way.
