The Fleitmann & Co. Building

What registers on the map as a solid block of dawn-to-dusk foot traffic can just as easily pause on The Fleitmann & Co. Building. This heritage structure at 501 Broadway New York, NY 10012 carries a century and a half of New York pauses, a low-rise anchor against the sky, south of Canal’s restless current and west of the courts along Centre.

The staircase-type truss behind its Romanesque windows has long served as background for foot traffic, photo shoots, and the occasional film shot. If you’re scaling the block for a classic Manhattan landmark, plug the address into your map—directions are a tap away.
