Mills Building, Historic office building in Financial District, Manhattan, US.

The Mills Building stood as a 10-story structure at 15 Broad Street and Exchange Place, extending to 35 Wall Street in an L-shape configuration.

Architect George B. Post completed this building in 1882, which required innovative foundation solutions due to the sandy soil beneath its structure.

The building represented the evolution of commercial architecture in New York's Financial District, setting standards for late 19th-century office construction.

The structure wrapped around the J.P. Morgan & Company Building at 23 Wall Street, positioning it at the center of Manhattan's financial activities.

In 1908, developers proposed replacing the Mills Building with a 1,000-foot skyscraper, which would have been the tallest building worldwide.
