The Mercantile Library builds Clinton Hall, an earlier building on the Temple Court site
In 1830 the New York Mercantile Library put up Clinton Hall here and used it until 1854, with the National Academy of Design also occupying the building. From 1857 to 1868 the corner at Theatre Alley and Beekman Street held the National Park Bank. Early in 1881 the entrepreneur Eugene Kelly bought a pair of lots on the Nassau and Beekman corner, at a cost of $250,000, as the site for his new office building.
