The firm Jardine, Kent & Jardine designed this seven-story brick loft building in 1903 on the corner of Christopher and Gay Streets. Groups of triple windows are separated by brick piers that rise from the sidewalk, with plate glass double-hung sash. The Landmarks Preservation Commission found its plain, functional look unusual for the date it was built.

A Greek Revival house on Gay Street is torn down for a two-story loft extension in 1939
In 1939 a two-story extension was added to the loft building's Gay Street side, at No. 19 Gay Street. To make room, a Greek Revival house belonging to a row of 1844 houses built by Thomas Cumming was demolished. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 1969 report calls the loss unfortunate, since the extension suits an industrial area better than a residential street.
