Kemble Building
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kemble Building was an eight-story[1] edifice located at 15–25[2] Whitehall Street between Bridge Street and Stone Street. It stood opposite the Custom House in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City.[3] Owned by the Ogden Goelet Estate,[2] the structure adjoined the seven-story New York Produce Exchange Building.[4] At first employed as a cotton warehouse, it was used for office space beginning in 1882. Prior to the Kemble Building's erection, the site was occupied by the business of Hendrick Willemsen, a baker and bread inspector.[2]
