    W.E. Waring designs Nos. 80-84 Bowery in 1869, and Elijah Sniffen rebuilds them after a fire in 1876

    The National Register nomination for the Bowery Historic District says an earlier building on this lot, part of Nos. 80 to 84 Bowery, was built in 1869 to designs by W.E. Waring, with a mansard roof. A fire damaged the group in 1876, and Elijah Sniffen was the architect of the reconstruction. The nomination describes No. 84 as a five-story brick loft and lists it as the Royal Jewelry Center.
