Potter Building, Office building in Financial District, Manhattan, US.

The Potter Building at 145 Nassau Street features a brick and terracotta facade with Queen Anne architectural style elements across eleven stories.

Constructed in 1886 by architect Norris Garshom Starkweather, this structure replaced the New York World headquarters building that burned down in 1882.

The building represents late 19th-century commercial architecture and stands as a contributing property to the Fulton-Nassau Historic District since 2005.

Located near New York City Hall, the Potter Building transformed from office spaces into residential units between 1979 and 1981.

The structure incorporates advanced fireproofing methods with rolled iron beams, cast iron columns, and a C-shaped floor plan with a light courtyard.
