Narrative
Wikimapia: 5-story office building completed in 1860 as a store-and-loft building. It also has a frontage at 16 Mercer Street, and was used during the Civil War as temporary home for soldiers. Both frontages have dark grey-painted cast-iron ground floors with Corinthian columns and dentiled cornices. The upper floors are clad in stone, with quoins at the corners of the Howard facade. The windows here are segmental-arched and connected sills with corbelled feet run across each floor. A black metal roof cornice caps both facades. The ground floor is occupied by Agnes B. boutique.
