Can anyone therefore tell me the date of its construction? This was the site of my great-great-grandfather John Hamilton Harris's hat factory, and I wonder if the building was the one he built in 1828 or so. if so, I would appreciate a photo of it for a family memoir I'm publishing.

Why would they need prime retail space on Jay st? and the building shown above, it has the potential to be a great location for retail and cafes on the ground level. But a hotel will bring nothing to the street level. Shawn is right-on about the yeshiva comment.
