The Conduitt Building was constructed in 1882 for the Conduitt and Sons Company, a grocery store. The building itself was created to be a warehouse for the voluminous dry goods that the company maintained. It also housed several different departments, two elevators and numerous employees. Conduitt and Sons Company went through several different names depending on who the main partners were. The image is a sketch of the front of the building with several pedestrians on the sidewalk in front of the building. The structure itself is four to five stories tall with a lot of windows facing the street and ornate decorations on the facade of the structure.
