NYFE Summary

The company produced banknotes, stamps and stock certificates for clients in the United States and abroad. This building held its offices and sales work. The printing plants were elsewhere, so the site should not be mistaken for a preserved printing factory.

Oversized columns fill much of the small facade. A high central opening and carved stone details make the headquarters stand out among the taller offices around it. The building shows how a specialized manufacturer presented itself to financial clients.
