History

462 Broadway (1893)

An elegant residence was erected at the corner of Broadway and Grand streets in 1828, which was afterward called the Broadway House, and known for many years as the Whig Headquarters. The site was later occupied by the Brooks Brothers' cast-iron building.[1] After that building was demolished, the 462 Broadway building, also known as the Mills & Gibb building was erected in 1879-1880 to a design by Correja.[2][3][4] It is currently occupied by the International Culinary Center.[1]
