3. BUILDING HISTORY
As the Civil War ended and New York’s men came back home, Broadway
between Canal and Houston Streets continued to develop as a fashionable
commercial area. Elegant hotels and high-end shops catered to the carriage
class and new store & office buildings replaced brick Federal-style homes.
In 1867 the five-story store and office-space building was completed at 540
Broadway, designed by David Jardine. The street level store front was
constructed of cast iron, but it was the upper section that drew attention.
Here the design stepped out of the architectural box. Rusticated piers framed
the gray stone façade. Recessed windows were separated by stylized, carved
pilasters joined by arched lintels with elaborate keystones. While other
buildings of the period sprouted deep cornices and Corinthian capitals, this
gray beauty expressed austere but subtle reserve.
In the 2000s little has changed in the outward appearance of the remarkable
gray stone building. The Soho neighborhood is now lined with trendy shops and
galleries and where the Morimura Brothers once sold Japanese bric-a-brac,
customers now shop for shoes.
