History

In 1864, 542 Broadway was erected between Prince and Spring Streets. Per owner Edward Robinson’s request, the architect pulled out all the stops; designing a white marble facade that gleams in the sun, standing tall at six stories high, with Corinthian columns supporting cornices at each level. However, the building is most known for its notable caryatids- stone carvings of draped female figures often used as pillars to support Greek-style buildings. The three marble statues of Roman goddesses — Panacea, Athena, and Ceres — overlook Broadway from the sixth and final story. Additionally, The American Express Company opened a branch office of its express package service here in 1871 and would stay beyond the 20th century.
