Bennett Building, Cast-iron building in Financial District, Manhattan, United States.

The Bennett Building occupies an entire block from Fulton Street to Ann Street, featuring three ornate facades with segmental-arched windows and vertical pilasters.

Construction began in 1872 under architect Arthur D. Gilman, resulting in a seven-story structure that expanded to eleven floors between 1890 and 1892.

The structure represents the adaptation of French Second Empire architectural style to American commercial needs during the late nineteenth century development of Lower Manhattan.

The building houses multiple commercial tenants across its eleven floors, with separate entrances at 93-99 Nassau Street, 139 Fulton Street, and 30 Ann Street.

The Bennett Building contains the largest known cast-iron facade worldwide and remains one of two Second Empire office buildings with cast-iron facades south of Canal Street.
