There were no immediate reports of injuries. It was unclear where the fire started in the 11-story building, according to the FDNY.
The stately 1896 structure, known as the Baudouine Building, has a small Greco-Roman temple on its rooftop, which a former Landmarks Preservation Commissioner called ''a little Parnassus in the sky."
