The Hoffman Building, also known as The Arnold,[1] was a Morristown, New Jersey structure completed before 1896.[2][3]

Located across the street from the Morristown Green, the three-story building housed retail and rental properties,[4][3] most notably Adams & Fairchild grocers and P. H. Hoffman & Son clothiers. It was commissioned by Philip H. Hoffman,[4][3] and its carpenter was John T. Allen.[3]

The inscription above the entrance hall read "The Arnold,"[2][1] in homage to the Arnold's Tavern, the historic building moved to accommodate it.

It was demolished some time before the 1960s to make room for the Reynolds & Co building,[5] in which a Charles Schwab location now stands.[6]
