63 Nassau Street, Renaissance Revival commercial building in Financial District, Manhattan, USA
The five-story commercial building at 63 Nassau Street features a cast-iron facade with superimposed arcades and a modillioned cornice at its crown.
Built in 1844 and modified between 1857 and 1859, this structure stands as one of the first cast-iron buildings constructed in New York City.
The facade displays two bas-relief portrait busts of Benjamin Franklin, reflecting the 19th-century practice of incorporating American historical figures into architectural design.
Located between Maiden Lane and John Street, the building maintains its commercial function with a glass-door entrance and show windows at street level.
This rare example of James Bogardus cast-iron architecture remains one of only five known Bogardus buildings still standing in the United States.
