Right across from the southern boundary of Ground Zero, this 13-story, Romanesque Revival building was designed by Oswald Wirz in 1897 and converted to 23 rental apartments in 1998.

The building is located between Greenwich and Vesey Streets in the Financial District.

In June, 2005, it was announced that a $3 million grant from the Lower Manattan Development Corporation and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey would help finance the Tribute Center in this building as the central place for information and reflection until the WTC Memorial opens. The Tribute Center is a project of the September 11th Widows' and Victims' Families' Association. It has been designed by Joan Krevlin of BKSK Architects.

The center is a 6,000-square foot itneractive educational center that houses exhibitions about the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center February 26, 1993 and September 11, 2001.

The building is convenient to the Financial District and the City Hall district and public transportation.
