Description

The building was constructed in 1910 for the Darby Printing Company, designed by the firm of Walker&Chase. Its façade features banks of large triple-paired windows to provide natural light into the building; it is also noteworthy for being an unusually tall and large example of a timber-framed structure. The building is capped by a prominent projecting cornice mounted to a high front parapet wall; the storefront is not original. The building is more commonly known as the long-time home of Weschler’s Auction House.
