Gilman in the French Second Empire style, the architect's only existing work in New York City. The building's three fully designed facades face Fulton, Nassau, and Ann Streets. Constructed in 1872-73 at six stories, the mansard roof was removed and three floors and a penthouse were added in 1890-92 by James M. Farnsworth for the building's new owner, John Petit. In 1894, Farnsworth constructed an extension of the building to Ann Street. In both cases, Farnsworth's additions carefully followed Gilman's original design.
