Building History

This 7-story, brick-faced building dated from 1898, erected from the remains of the Great Eastern Building #2 (1890) that burned on 01/24/1898. Isaac N. Peyton bought the Great Eastern's charred hulk, used its exterior walls, and built this mixed-use skyscraper having retail on its first floor and offices on the upper stories. In 1908, Peyton built a seven-story Annex on the Peyton's Building's south side, the city's second tower with a reinforced concrete skeleton (the first being the Holley-Mason Building [1905]).
