Landmarks Worth Looking Up For

SoHo sits inside the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District, designated in 1973 and home to roughly 250 cast-iron buildings — the largest concentration in the world. A few are worth building your walk around:

• The Haughwout Building — 488 Broadway, at the corner of Broome Street. Built in 1857 and modeled after a 16th-century Venetian palazzo, it’s considered one of the finest examples of cast-iron architecture in the city. It also housed the first commercial passenger elevator, installed by Otis, making it a milestone in building history as much as architectural style.
• The Little Singer Building — 561 Broadway, at Prince Street. Built in 1904 by architect Ernest Flagg for the Singer Sewing Machine Company. Its wrought iron balconies and recessed windows still stand out from the surrounding blocks, and the original “Singer Manufacturing Company” signage remains visible on the Prince Street side.
• The Gunther Building — 469–475 Broome Street, at West Broadway. Built in 1871 with a distinctive curved glass corner and Corinthian columns, it was originally a warehouse for fur goods and is now residential.
• The Judd Foundation Building — 101 Spring Street, at Mercer Street. A five-story cast-iron building constructed in 1870, it was the first property owned by minimalist artist Donald Judd and now operates as a preserved studio and museum.
• King of Greene Street — 72–76 Greene Street. Designed by Isaac F. Duckworth and completed in 1873, this French Renaissance-style building is often cited as one of the last and most elegant cast-iron buildings built in SoHo, earning it its nickname.

Planning Your Visit

A well-paced day covering shopping, a meal, and a museum or gallery stop runs five to seven hours. If you’re staying overnight, SoHo’s hotels put you within walking distance of nearly everything on this list, which makes it easy to split shopping and culture across two days and save nightlife for the evenings in between. Wear comfortable shoes; the cobblestones are charming but unforgiving after a few hours.
