TheCary Building at 105-107Chambers Street, extending alongChurch Street to Reade Street, in theTribeca neighborhood ofManhattan,New York City, was built in 1856–1857 and was designed byGamaliel King andJohn Kellum ("King & Kellum")[2] in the Italian Renaissance revival style, with the cast-iron facade provided byDaniel D. Badger's Architectural Iron Work. The five-story twin-facaded building was constructed for William H. Cary's Cary, Howard & Sanger, a dry goods firm.[3][4][5]

Although built as a commercial structure, the Cary Building is now residential. As a result of the widening of Church Street in the 1920s, a 200-foot-long wall of unadorned brick is now exposed on the east side of the building; asChristopher Gray observed inThe New York Times, comparing the structure to cast-iron buildings with facades obscured by modern signage, "There is not too little of the Cary Building but too much."[3]

In 1973, the artistKnox Martin was commissioned to create a 280-foot canopy[6] that wrapped around the building.Ada Louise Huxtable wrote inThe New York Times: "...credited Knox Martin with the graphics, including the supersign on the building's side and the continuous, brightly patterned abstract awning sheltering the shops. It is a fine example of combining new with old for practicality, continuity and art."[7]

The building was designated aNew York City landmark in 1982, and was listed on the U.S.National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] The building was once home toThe New York Sun.
