  1. 1853

    No. 92 Crosby Street, finished in 1853 for Gardner A. Sage, has round-arched Italianate windows

    The store at 92 Crosby Street was completed in 1853 for its original owner, Gardner A. Sage, and stands four stories tall. Its second floor has round-arched Italianate windows divided by stone pilasters and topped with keystones, while the upper two floors have simple square-headed loft windows. The Landmarks Preservation Commission notes that square-headed windows like these would have been used only on the plainest Italianate designs.

    J. B. Snook designed two six-story store-and-loft buildings, Nos. 552 and 554, completed in 1855 for Richard French. Both run through the block to Crosby Street and share one stone facade with a two-story iron storefront. The first iron storefront came from Badger's Architectural Iron Works and was replaced in an 1897 alteration.

  3. 1897

    Two Broadway stores are joined into one building in 1897 and linked inside to No. 556

    The two 1855 buildings at 552 and 554 Broadway were merged into a single structure in 1897 and also connected internally with the stylistically different building at 556 Broadway. The two-story iron storefront that replaced Badger's original was probably added at the time of this alteration. The landmark report calls the result a six-story, six-bay building.

    “…originally built as two buildings for Richard French in 1855. The two buildings were joined in 1897 and also connected internally with 556 Broadway…”
