In 1869 the builder John Murtha put up a row of five houses with shops on their ground floors at the corner of Bleecker Street and the Bowery, 1 Bleecker Street among them, to designs by David and John Jardine. The owner was Benjamin Stephens, who held the property from 1830 to 1908. Both natives of Scotland, the Jardines rose to prominence in the 1870s and 1880s for warehouses, office buildings and apartment houses.

Signs for the store, in board, hanging and painted forms of every size, covered the lower walls on both the Bowery and Bleecker Street sides. Across Bleecker Street, 316-318 Bowery carried signs for another hardware dealer, the Bleecker Hardware Co., which was there from as early as 1920 until 1975.
