Hopkins Store, Commercial building in Lower Manhattan, United States.
The Hopkins Store at 75 Murray Street features a cast-iron facade with tall windows and ornate decorative brackets in Venetian style. The structure displays the hallmark characteristics of Italianate architecture with substantial cornices and detailed ornamentation.
The building was constructed in 1865 by architect James Bogardus and originally served as a glassware shop during the post-war reconstruction era. After 1994, it underwent renovation and was converted into a mixed-use residence and commercial space.
The store takes its name from Francis and John Hopkins, who ran a glassware business here after the Civil War. The name reflects the commercial identity this neighborhood developed during that era.
The building sits between West Broadway and Greenwich Street in Lower Manhattan with easy subway and bus access nearby. Its location provides convenient public transportation options and sits within a well-connected neighborhood.
The building was designed by James Bogardus, a pioneer of cast-iron facade technology that made buildings lighter and more flexible in their design. This construction method was revolutionary for 19th-century architecture and made building taller structures possible.
