The Court–Exchange Building (formerly the National Casket Company building) is a historic industrial and commercial building located at 142 Exchange Street (at the corner of Court Street) in Rochester, New York.
It is a six-story brick structure with Richardsonian Romanesque details designed by Harvey Ellis and built in 1881 for Samuel Stein, a local manufacturer of wooden caskets. When Stein retired in 1890, he sold his business to the National Casket Company.[2] The building was used until 1984 to manufacture, display, and warehouse caskets.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
