Description: The Gorham Silver Manufacturing Company Building, at 889 Broadway at 19th Street in Manhattan, New York City, was built in 1883-1884 (designed by Edward Hale Kendall) as a mixed-use building with bachelor apartments above the two-floor store of the Gorham Company. The company took over the entire building within a few years, and then moved uptown in 1905, after which the building was converted to lofts and offices (1912, John H. Duncan). It was made over into apartments above a retail space (Fishs Eddy) in 1977. The building is a NYC Designated Landmark. See File:WTM3 TEAM 21 0011.jpg for plaque.
