Demarest Building, Late 19th-century commercial building in Midtown Manhattan, United States.
The Demarest Building at 339 Fifth Avenue exhibits modified Beaux Arts architecture with detailed facades and prominent corner positioning near the Empire State Building.
Completed in 1890 by architect James Renwick Jr, the four-story structure initially served as a luxury carriage showroom for businessman Aaron T Demarest.
The structure represents a period of rapid commercial growth in Manhattan, when Fifth Avenue transformed from residential brownstones into retail establishments.
Located at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 33rd Street, the building housed retail spaces before its demolition in 2022 for residential development.
The Demarest Building contained the first electric elevator installed in the world, marking a significant advancement in building technology during 1889.
