Downtown Walking Tour Site #4 - 5-11 Broadway - The Bowling Green Offices

 The Bowling Green Offices opened in 1898 as a speculative office building. That means that it did not have an anchor tenant to insure some level of rent at opening. Because of this, developers used grand entrances to entice tenants. This building has an eclectic blend of Greek and Egyptian motifs. In the photograph to the right, you will see that land has been cleared for the future Cunard Building.
