The R.C. Williams Warehouse is a 10-story Modern Movement style building in Chelsea, Manhattan, New York City designed by architect Cass Gilbert. It is located on the west side of 10th Avenue between 25th and 26th Streets and was built in 1927–1928 for a wholesale grocery company, the R.C. Williams Company, which purchased the site for its new headquarters in 1926.[1] The 215000ft2 design[2] is a smaller version of Gilbert's design for the Brooklyn Army Terminal; like the Army Terminal, the warehouse has a concrete façade divided into bays by columns.[3] The building has a siding on the third floor which formerly provided access to the High Line railway for the loading and unloading of freight to the warehouse.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005., a private school, opened in the building in September 2012.
