The R.C. Williams Warehouse is a 10-story Modern Movement style building in Chelsea, Manhattan, New York City designed by architect Cass Gilbert. [1] [2] 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.
