Ingersoll-Tutton Building, 832 Fifth Avenue. Built in 1894, the building was originally divided into two ownership parcels, with an agreement for a common stairway, entry, and skylight on the dividing line between the north and south portions of the lot. It was touted as being the most expensive to build for its size at the price of $20,000. It is known for having a notorious tenant, Dr. W. Kingsley, who illegally dispensed drugs in 1931. Two restaurants now occupy the ground floor.
