Having frontage on all three streets, it has three street addresses: 93-99 Nassau Street, 139 Fulton Street, and 30 Ann Street. Its key feature is a fully realized cast-iron facade, the largest known such example.[2][3] The building's three fully designed facades face Fulton, Nassau, and Ann Streets. The fourth side, facing an adjacent property, has a mostly blank facade. History and descriptionThe building is a ten-story (plus penthouse) cast-iron loft building. It was originally seven stories, with a smaller footprint. It was commissioned by James Gordon Bennett Jr., the publisher of the New York Herald newspaper. The architect was Arthur D. Gilman, and is his only remaining work in Manhattan[2]. He designed it in the French Second Empire style. Constructed in 1872-73 at six stories, the mansard roof was removed and three floors and a penthouse were added in 1890-92 by James M. Farnsworth for the building's new owner, John Petit. In 1894, Farnsworth constructed an extension of the building to Ann Street. In both cases, Farnsworth's additions carefully followed Gilman's original design. On November 21, 1995, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the building a New York City landmark.[1] The Bennett Building is the tallest building in the world with an entirely cast-iron facade.[1][3][4] Historical markerIn 1916, the Maiden Lane Historical Society erected a plaque on the building that reads:[5]
