American Thread Building, Bank building in Tribeca, Manhattan, United States

The American Thread Building at 260 West Broadway exhibits Renaissance Revival architecture with large windows and decorative elements across eleven stories.

Constructed in 1896 by architect William Tubby, the structure initially served as the Wool Exchange Building before becoming the American Thread Company headquarters in 1907.

The building represents Manhattan's industrial evolution from textile manufacturing to modern commercial spaces while maintaining its architectural character.

Located at the intersection of West Broadway and Beach Street, the building stands near multiple subway stations and bus stops in lower Manhattan.

During renovations in 2007, construction workers discovered an early Keith Haring artwork hidden within one of the residential units.
