Henry Fernbach finishes an iron-fronted warehouse for A. B. Strange at 100 Prince Street
Work began in May 1882 and was completed that October, with Henry Fernbach as architect and Robinson & Wallace as masons. The five-story, four-bay building had an iron facade and was built as a warehouse for A. B. Strange, who also owned the building next door. Its roof entablature has been removed, and it shares a common facade with 96-98 Prince Street.

Annina Nosei opens her gallery at 100 Prince Street and soon gives Jean-Michel Basquiat a basement studio
Nosei opened her SoHo gallery here in 1980. After seeing Basquiat in the 1981 New York/New Wave show, she invited him into her Public Address group show and gave him studio space in the gallery basement. She presented his first American solo show in March 1982, but disputes over the sale of his paintings ended the arrangement by summer, and Bruno Bischofberger became his dealer.
“In 1980, Nosei opened her own gallery at 100 Prince Street in SoHo. ... provided him with studio space in the basement of her gallery.”
