177 Franklin Street is a historic six-story commercial building located on Franklin Street between Hudson and Greenwich streets in the TriBeCa neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City.[7][3] Originally built in 1888, 177 Franklin Street was owned by real estate investor William Grupe and designed by architect Frederick Jenth, with construction starting in 1887.[7] The structure was originally designed as a five-story building; a sixth story was added in 1890 by architect Robert Callack.[7][8]

The building has a neo-Grec façade composed of a one-story base and a five-story upper section.[7] Some surviving historic features include a pressed metal cornice, prominent brick-and-stone lintels, a brick corbel table, wood sash windows, and cast-iron piers from the Lindsay, Graff & Megquier foundry,[9] as indicated on two clear foundry marks.[7] The building was renovated by Michael Kirchmann of GDSNY and is the headquarters and flagship location for lifestyle retailer Shinola.[10][2][3]
