The Gorham Building’s architectural significance extends well beyond its Queen Anne-style façade. From the main living area, views stretch toward Park Avenue, Union Square, and the striking architecture of the ABC Carpet & Home Building, all within a single glance. Built in 1883 by architect Edward Hale Kendall, the Gorham Building at 889 Broadway stands as a lasting expression of the Queen Anne style. Consisting of eight stories, the red brick building is outfitted with terracotta and cast iron details, and a Dutch Mansard roof. Originally designed with commercial spaces on its lower floors and residences above, the building became synonymous with the Gorham Manufacturing Company, whose silverwork represented the height of American design and quality during the Gilded Age. In 1977, the building was converted to a residential cooperative. The Gorham buildings amenities include a renovated furnished roof and deeded storage unit. Pet Friendly building for primary residences only.
