111 and 115 Broadway
Trinity Building and
United States Realty Building
(NYLPC
Landmark)
Status: Inspected but not affected.*
Trinity and U.S. Realty Buildings (offices), 111 and 115 Broadway, straddling Thames St. W. side. 1904-1907. Both by Francis H. Kimball. Renovated 1988-1989. Swanke Hayden Connell.
These are richly detailed buildings with "broken Gothic forms."
Both buildings "were designed with Gothic detail to harmonize with neighboring Trinity Church."
"The construction of these
enormous slabs was a major undertaking, entailing the relocation of Thames
Street and the construction of caissons 80 feet into the marshy subsoil. The
limestone-faced buildings are carefully detailed with towers, gables, and
fanciful carved ornament."
