Robbins & Appleton Building
Robbins & Appleton Building, Second Empire industrial building in NoHo, Manhattan, United States.
The Robbins & Appleton Building at 1-5 Bond Street features a cast iron facade and blue mansard roof across its six-story structure.
Construction of the current building occurred in 1880 after a massive fire destroyed the previous structure at this location in March 1877.
The building transformed from a watch case manufacturing facility to residential spaces, reflecting the evolution of Manhattan's industrial neighborhoods.
The structure contains 19 residential units and commercial spaces, including an art supply store, with multiple transit options in the vicinity.
American Waltham Company manufactured watch cases in this building, and President Lincoln received one of their timepieces after the Gettysburg Address.
