| - 254–260 Canal Street, also known as the Bruce Building, is a building on the corner of Lafayette Street in the Chinatown neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It was constructed in 1856–57 and designed in the Italian Renaissance revival style. The cast-iron elements of the facade may have been provided by James Bogardus, a pioneer in the use of cast iron in architecture. The building was constructed for George Bruce, a prosperous printer and inventor of new technologies in the printing industry, which was then one of New York's leading industries. It was converted to offices in 1987 by architect Jack L. Gordon. The use of cast-iron columns in the large, five-story tall building allowed for the installation of large windows that improved manufacturing conditions and efficiency. The lot had become available because a lumber mill standing on the site had recently been destroyed by fire, making fire-retardant cast-iron construction attractive. The mildly Italianate style of the building, makes it a particularly handsome example of nineteenth century industrial architecture. It has been called "Beautiful!" and "an important early example of cast-iron architecture in New York City". If the cast iron did in fact come from Bogardus' iron works, the building would be "the largest and most important of his extant works." The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1985, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. (en)

Fue convertido en oficinas en 1987 por el arquitecto Jack L. Gordon. El uso de columnas de hierro fundido en el gran edificio de cinco pisos permitió la instalación de grandes ventanales que mejoraron las condiciones de fabricación y la eficiencia. El lote estaba disponible porque un aserradero que se encontraba en el sitio había sido destruido recientemente por un incendio, lo que hacía atractiva la construcción de hierro fundido ignífugo. El estilo ligeramente italiano del edificio lo convierte en un ejemplo significativo de la arquitectura industrial del siglo XIX. Se le ha llamado "¡Hermoso!" y "un importante ejemplo temprano de arquitectura de hierro fundido en la ciudad de Nueva York". Si el hierro fundido de hecho procediera de las obras de hierro de Bogardus, el edificio sería "la más grande e importante de sus obras existentes". El edificio fue designado como un hito de la ciudad de Nueva York en 1985 y se agregó al Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 2006. (es)
