The six-story store and loft building at 9 East 4th Street was built in 1887-88 for Michael Sampter, from designs by Cleverdon & Putzel. It replaced earlier residential buildings as taller commercial structures took over the area. The Sampter family put up the building next door at 11 to 19 at about the same time, and owned No. 9 until at least 1899.
