Mills Building (New York City)
The Mills Building was a 10-story structure that stood at 15 Broad Street and Exchange Place〔"The Mills Building", ''The New York Times'', February 3, 1882, pg. 8.〕 in Manhattan, with an ''L'' to 35 Wall Street. It adjoined the building that was the home of Equitable Trust Company. It also adjoined the J. P. Morgan & Company Building on both Broad and Wall streets.〔
George B. Post was the architect of the edifice.
D.O. Mills, a San Francisco, California banker, owned the property.〔"D.O. Mills Coming East", ''The New York Times'', September 10, 1883, pg. 8.〕 Mills built a palatial home in New York, while maintaining a lovely villa in Millbrae, California.〔"D.O. Mills Coming To New York", ''The New York Times'', August 2, 1879, pg. 3.〕
==Construction==
The Mills Building was completed in 1882.〔 Wooden piles were driven down to support the edifice until it was found that it was too heavy for its foundation work. It rested on sandy soil, and the structure began to settle. Additional supports were driven down after a means of doing this was discovered. This was performed without the building having to be torn down. Finally a secure foundation was accomplished, although it was different from one composed of bedrock. In the future, this would be achieved by employing caisson foundations.〔
