- This article is about the 1888 building on 2nd Avenue North. For the 1970 midtown skyscraper, see Daniel Building.
The Daniels Building is a four-story cast-iron framed commercial building erected in 1888 at 2121 2nd Avenue North. The brick piers on the front are laid up in alternating bands of red brick and white concrete. Pressed metal spandrels and cornices add exuberant detail to the facade.
The building originally housed the facilities of the V.V.V. Blood Medicine Manufacturing Company with leased apartments above. It later housed Spencer Furniture. It was removed in 2006 by Joseph McClure and currently houses the HD&J accounting firm.
