75 Murray Street, also known as the Hopkins Store, is a historic building between West Broadway and Greenwich Street in the TriBeCa neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It was built in 1857-58 and features a cast-iron facade in the Venetian Renaissance style from the foundry of James Bogardus, ^[1] one of the earliest ^[4] of the few remaining facades created by the self-described inventor of cast-iron architecture. ^{[1] [5]}

The original tenants were Francis and John Hopkins, who had a glassware business. ^[6] Beginning c.1920 the building was the location of Knickerbocker Annunciator, a supplier of elevator traveling cable, electronic cable, and annunciators.

The building was converted to mixed commercial and residential use in 1994–95, at which time it was restored. ^[1] It is currently called the Bogardus Mansion and used for events and musical performances. ^[7]
