King, a manufacturer of plaster and cement products. It was occupied for many years by Harwood & Son, makers of awnings and other canvas goods. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated it a city landmark on November 12, 1991.
The structure received landmark designation in 1991, marking its contribution to Manhattan's architectural heritage and Tribeca's neighborhood character.
The building sits between Worth and Leonard Streets in Lower Manhattan and is easily accessible on foot. The neighborhood has good walkways and is well-served by nearby transit options.
The corbeled brick details in the window arches and cornice construction reflect masonry techniques specific to the building's era. Such detailed brickwork is less common in the city today.
