About the Building
Soho’s iconic Puck Building, a Romanesque Revival mixed-use property is highly touted as one of New York’s most celebrated landmarks and is ranked among the city’s most iconic edifices. Originally designed by Albert Wagner, Kushner Companies repositioned the first seven floors into a modern, class “A” creative office and retail environment, with penthouse condominiums on top. The Puck Building has become home to one of NYC’s hottest restaurants, Torrisi, occupying the building’s Mulberry Street retail space.

History
It’s hard to miss the two gilded statues of a nude child affixed to The Puck Building, one at the northeast corner at Houston and Mulberry, the other over the entrance on Lafayette Street. They harken back to the building’s bold entry into New York fame.
The statues are of Puck, the mischievous child in Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream. Austrian immigrant, Joseph Keppler’s satirical political publication, Puck Magazine, was affectionately named after the troublemaker. Keppler was a talented cartoonist who brought his work over from Germany to New York, where his snarky and quick-witted illustrations were just as disruptive as the pint-sized jester himself.
The publication ran weekly from 1871 to 1918, and it was the first magazine to carry illustrated advertising. Its clever full-color cartoons critiqued politics and served cold public opinions on issues of the day. It captured the hearts of
many influential New Yorkers, also U.S. President Grover Cleveland, who attributed his 1885 presidential win to the magazine.
Puck Magazine quickly earned its reputation as the most influential and successful publication in all of New York City. Other publications and printing presses later moved into the building and into the neighborhood, joining the herd of artists and writers who made iconic New York loft style living out of forgotten commercial spaces. The SoHo and NoHo neighborhoods became the heart of the printing trade, and The Puck Building would gain legacy status as the one that started it all.
