The Tuttleman Brothers and Faggen Building at 56-60 North 2nd Street was built in 1830-36 as three separate brick stores. The main cast-iron facade, in the Queen Anne style, was added in 1901, one of the last cast-iron facades erected in the U.S. Typical of the Queen Anne style are the complex fenestration (arrangement of windows and doors), the textured spandrel panels below the top story, and especially the central shaped parapet embellished with geometric grids and a classical swag.
The building was also altered to a shirt factory at this time for Tuttleman Bros & Faggen. Other businesses that were at this location in the next decade were Guarantee Comfort Shoe Manufacturing on the 3rd floor and Webb Shoes on the 4th. Both made shoes for children and infants. Collins Metallic Packing was here in the 1920's.
It was one of the first buildings to be renovated into apartments in the 1970s when Old City began its revival.
