About 280 Broadway

280 Broadway is a seven-story office building in Lower Manhattan’s Civic Center area. Its names have included the Marble Palace, the Sun Building, the Stewart Building and, from its first owner’s dry goods business, the A.T. Stewart Dry Goods Store. It went up in 1845-1846 for Alexander Turney Stewart. In New York City it was the first Italianate commercial building, and nationwide it was the first department store.

Trench & Snook were the architects of the first store, on the corner where Broadway meets Reade Street, and of two annexes from the early 1850s. The facade, in Tuckahoe marble, is divided into sections, which let each expansion follow a similar style. The ground level has pilasters and columns that once framed plate-glass walls, and a four-sided clock and two-sided thermometer arrived when the Sun was the occupant. Chambers Street, to the south, was reached by later additions designed by "Schmidt" (1872) and Edward D. Harris (1884).

Opening day for Stewart’s store was September 21, 1846, with its wholesale and retail departments arranged around a central rotunda. The retail division moved uptown in 1862. In 1882 Henry Hilton, who bought it from Stewart’s widow, turned it into offices; the wholesale division had stayed on until 1879. The interior is from 1884, the year the rotunda was destroyed. The Sun newspaper moved in during 1919, and in 1928 the building took the name Sun Building. From 1965 it was used for city government offices, and a rehabilitation ran from 1995 to 2002. The building has both National Historic Landmark and New York City landmark status.
