Mills Building, Historic office building in Financial District, Manhattan, US.
The Mills Building is an office structure standing where Wall Street and Broad Street meet in Manhattan. It rises ten stories and wraps around another finance building in an L-shaped footprint.
Architect George B. Post designed this building, completed in 1882 with innovative foundation work to handle soft ground beneath it. It rose during a period when the area transformed into a major financial hub.
The building sits in the heart of the Financial District where banking and trading activity has long concentrated. Its location among other finance buildings reflects how this area became the nerve center of American commerce.
The building sits in an active business district where streets around it fill with people during working hours. It is easily reached on foot if you are near Broad Street or Wall Street.
In 1908 a plan surfaced to replace it with a much taller skyscraper that would have been the world's highest at the time. This ambitious scheme never came to pass and the original structure remains standing.
