NYFE Summary

The silver company first occupied the lower floors, with apartments above. As the business expanded, it took over former residential space for sales and engraving work.

Projecting window bays turn the corner, while rows of pointed roof features rise above them. Brick, pale stone and dark metal window surrounds give the front several layers of detail. The long side on East 19th Street shows how the design continues beyond Broadway.
