Description of 44 Lispenard Street
Situated in the Tribeca East Historic District, 44 Lispenard Street stands as a five-story, twenty-three-foot-wide store and loft building, positioned near the Church Street section of the block. This architectural landmark was designed by Isaac F. Duckworth, a notable architect responsible for many structures within the district. Commissioned by Emanuel Uhlfelder, a prominent Broadway merchant specializing in fancy goods and trimmings, the building's construction took place in 1866-67. It replaced a one-story masonry dwelling.
The cast-iron façade of 44 Lispenard Street showcases the distinctive characteristics of the Second Empire architectural style. Notably, it features superimposed tiers of paneled end piers, pilaster-framed flat-arched openings with curved corners, and intermediate cornices. The building is adorned with a bracketed metal terminal cornice, boasting an arched pediment proudly displaying the inscription "ERECTED 1866." While some alterations have been made to the storefront, other historic elements such as rope moldings and the storefront cornice have been preserved.
Throughout its history, 44 Lispenard Street has hosted various occupants typical of the district, including Henry Hesse, a merchant dealing in wool and yarn, and Samuel Weil & Son, manufacturers of paste products. The building was converted into residential condominiums in 1997.
