Built 1892-94; William H. Hume, architect; Richard Deeves, builder; Frederick H. Kindl, consulting structural engineer. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 151, Lot 32. On June 22, 2010, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Mutual Reserve Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 10). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. One person, a representative of the Historic Districts Council, spoke in favor of designation.1 Summary The 13-story (plus basement) Mutual Reserve Building (1892-94), located on the northwest corner of Broadway and Duane Street, is one of New York City’s most significant examples of a tall late-19th-century office building designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque Revival style. The two designed facades feature granite and limestone cladding, rusticated piers, foliate carving, and arcaded base and upper sections. The architect, William H. Hume, was best known in his day for commercial and institutional work, and this is his most important extant commission. The building is notable as an early steel cage- framed structure in New York, constructed just prior to the full development of the skyscraper. The builder was the eminent Richard Deeves, while the prominent consulting structural engineer was Frederick H. Kindl, chief engineer of the Carnegie Steel Co. The Mutual Reserve Building was owned, until 1920, by the grandchildren of the immensely wealthy Boston merchant shipping magnate and shipbuilder, William F. -
