53–55 Beach Street
53–55 Beach Street is a historic seven-story building, located at the northwest corner of Beach Street and Collister Street, in the TriBeCa West Historic District of Manhattan, New York City. Originally commissioned in 1885, the building was designed by architect Oscar S Teale and commissioned by prominent developer Joseph Naylor. At the time of construction, it replaced two early nineteenth-century structures and exemplified the utilitarian warehouse architecture typical of the late 19th century. The building's facade features bold round arched openings at street level with granite keystones and a stone water table course. The upper five floors showcase bays of segmentally arched double-hung windows set between brick piers expressed as buttresses rather than decorative pilasters, reflecting the building's industrial function. The Beach Street side historically included loading bays, protected by iron bands and steel loading platforms, emphasizing its warehouse use.
