254–260 Canal Street, also known as theBruce Building, is a building on the corner ofLafayette Street in theChinatown neighborhood ofManhattan,New York City, United States. It was constructed in 1856–57 and designed in theItalian Renaissance revival style. Thecast-iron elements of the facade may have been provided byJames Bogardus, a pioneer in the use ofcast iron in architecture.^[2] The building was constructed forGeorge Bruce, a prosperous printer and inventor of new technologies in the printing industry, which was then one of New York's leading industries.^[3] It was converted to offices in 1987 by architect Jack L. Gordon.^[4]

The use of cast-iron columns in the large, five-story tall building allowed for the installation of large windows that improved manufacturing conditions and efficiency. The lot had become available because a lumber mill standing on the site had recently been destroyed by fire, making fire-retardant cast-iron construction attractive. The mildlyItalianate style of the building, makes it a particularly handsome example of nineteenth century industrial architecture.^[3] It has been called "Beautiful!"^[4] and "an important early example of cast-iron architecture in New York City".^[2] If the cast iron did in fact come from Bogardus' iron works, the building would be "the largest and most important of his extant works."^[4]

The building was designated aNew York City landmark in 1985, and was added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 2006.^[5]
