This building existed from 1858 to 1888, when a much taller NY Times Building was erected on the site. It had fronts in Park Row, Printing House Square and Nassau Street. The Potter Building adjoined it to the south. In addition to the New York Times, the building housed other offices: Patent Office, George P. Powell & Co.
