E. V. Haughwout Building, Commercial building in Manhattan, United States.
The E. V. Haughwout Building stands five stories tall with cast-iron facades at the intersection of Broome Street and Broadway in Manhattan.
Constructed in 1857 by architect John P. Gaynor, this structure housed Eder V. Haughwout's emporium selling imported glass, silverware, and fine chandeliers.
Mary Todd Lincoln selected White House china from this establishment, which exemplified nineteenth-century luxury retail in New York City.
The building contains 24 meters of vertical space across multiple floors, featuring large windows that allow natural light throughout the interior.
This structure contained the first commercial passenger elevator by Otis, installed in 1857, operating at 0.67 feet per second using steam power.
