Cary Building, Renaissance Revival commercial building in Tribeca, Manhattan, United States.

The five-story Cary Building features two identical cast-iron facades with deeply recessed arched windows flanked by Corinthian pillars along Chambers Street and Reade Street.

Constructed in 1857, the building served as the headquarters for Cary, Howard & Sanger, a department store that sold imported and domestic goods including jewelry, perfumes, and musical instruments.

The building stands as an example of early cast-iron architecture in New York City, with its facades manufactured by Daniel Badger's Architectural Iron Works company.

The structure currently houses commercial spaces on the lower floors and residential apartments on the top floor, following extensive renovations in the early 2000s.

The building's innovative rolling iron shutters, designed by Daniel Badger, provided security while maintaining the architectural integrity of the commercial structure.
