Rogers Peet Building, Commercial landmark in Civic Center, Manhattan, US.

The Rogers Peet Building at 258 Broadway stands eight stories tall with a facade that reflects late 19th-century commercial architecture patterns.

After the 1898 fire destroyed the original five-story structure, architects John B. Snook & Sons completed this new building in 1899.

The building housed the Rogers Peet clothing store, which influenced men's fashion retail practices in New York City during the 19th century.

Located near City Hall, the building maintains its commercial function while preserving its original architectural features from the 1890s.

The building's former basement contained the Beach Pneumatic Transit railroad tunnel, later transformed into an underground shooting gallery.
