Historical Overview
69 Mercer Street was originally constructed in 1876 for dry goods merchant Edward C. Eliot. Designed by architect Theo. A. Tribet and built by Robinson & Wallace, the five-story, three-bay building exemplifies the cast-iron architecture that defined SoHo’s commercial boom in the late 19th century. Its full iron façade features paired Corinthian columns, tall segmental-arched windows, and a deep bracketed cornice, striking a balance between fire-resistant utility and ornamental appeal. Completed in under six months, it was first occupied by G.D. & L.E. Delano, a dry goods firm, at a time when Mercer Street was rapidly transforming into a textile and mercantile corridor. Though updated internally during the 1990s and later adapted for creative and retail use, the structure retains its original proportions and façade detailing. 69 Mercer remains a contributing structure within the SoHo–Cast Iron Historic District Extension, recognized for both its architectural integrity and its role in Lower Manhattan’s industrial and commercial development.
