287 Broadway, Cast iron landmark in Civic Center, Manhattan, United States.

The six-story structure at 287 Broadway features Italianate and Second Empire architectural elements with cast iron facades facing both Broadway and Reade Street.

Constructed in 1872 for Stephen Storm's estate, the building initially housed a bank on the ground floor and contained one of the first Otis elevators in New York City.

The building represents the transformation of Lower Broadway from residential properties into commercial establishments during New York's 19th-century mercantile expansion period.

The building currently contains ten residential apartments with TD Bank operating on the ground floor, located at the intersection of Broadway and Reade Street.

The building required structural stabilization in the 2000s after nearby excavation work caused it to tilt, leading to temporary evacuation orders.
