Summary

Significance: Designed by George B. Post for Ellen S. Auchmuty, a Schermerhorn descendant, in 1885, the brick and terra cotta store is one of the handsomest buildings in the Seaport area. Terra cotta fish and shell ornamentation relate to the fish market businesses that have dominated the neighborhood since the building was constructed.
