The Harlem Corn Exchange Building also known as the Mount Morris Bank Building, 81-85 East 125th Street at Park Avenue, New York City, 1886.
A fire destroyed the mansard roof and the two floors enclosed by it in 1997. The city repossessed the building in 2000 and in 2009 demolished all but the basement and main floor, for safety’s sake. Developer Artimus Construction purchased the structure in 2012 and undertook to rebuild it for commercial and retail occupancy. The design, by Danois Architects, is not intended to be an exact copy of the original, but rather strongly suggestive of it, and was approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2013. The building reopened in May of 2015. Below, as it appears today.
