About the Bennett Building
The Bennett Building, a cast-iron structure, stands in Lower Manhattan's Financial District, on the west side of Nassau Street, and fills the block between Fulton Street and Ann Street. Its main address is 93-99 Nassau Street, with other entrances at 30 Ann Street and 139 Fulton Street. Three of its facades are fully designed, facing Fulton, Nassau and Ann Streets, and the fourth side, against a neighboring property, is plain brick.
Arthur D. Gilman designed the building in the French Second Empire style, and James M. Farnsworth's expansions followed Gilman's design closely. Its cast-iron facade is fully realized and is the largest known example in the world. It is also one of only two surviving Second Empire-style offices with cast-iron fronts south of Canal Street. The New York Times described the 125-foot (38 m) building as probably the tallest in the world with a facade entirely of cast iron.
James Gordon Bennett Jr. commissioned the project as an investment. Gilman's original structure had seven stories, counting a mansard roof. In 1889 John Pettit, an investor in real estate, bought the building and hired Farnsworth, who replaced the mansard with four more stories between 1890 and 1892 and put up an eleven-story annex on Ann Street in 1894. The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1995.
