The Gillender Building was a skyscraper located in Lower Manhattan, New York City. It was completed in 1896 and was one of the first steel-framed high-rise buildings in the city. The building was located at the corner of Nassau and Pine Streets and was notable for its elaborate Victorian architecture, including a distinctive mansard roof and ornate cornices. The Gillender Building was eventually demolished in the mid-20th century as part of a wave of redevelopment in Lower Manhattan.
