Little Singer Building

The Little Singer Building is an early 20th century building at 88 Prince Street in SoHo, Manhattan, New York City. It is located at 561 Broadway, between Prince and Spring Streets. The Little Singer Building got the "little" added to its name to differentiate it from the 47-storey, much "bigger" Singer Building that was demolished in 1968, to make way for One Liberty Plaza.

As with its long-departed taller sister, the Little Singer Building was designed by architect Earnest Flagg. Both were built for the Singer Corporation, famous for making sewing machines. This charmingly ornate building is regarded by many as more beautiful than the demolished one, and is thankfully still standing today.

The Little Singer Building is 12 storeys tall. Its façade is of terracotta, glass and steel, building materials regarded cutting edge at the time of construction.

How to reach the Little Singer Building

Take the R or W trains to Prince Street subway station. Walk west on Prince Street and you will see the Little Singer Building on your left. It is green in color, and at time of writing (Feb 2010), houses the Spanish clothing store MANGO.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
