Tax records show this building was one of four put up around 1862 on lots 22 to 25, the group that includes 118, 120 and 122 East 7th Street. William B. Astor owned the ground, but leased the lot in 1862 to Joseph Ohmeis, whom the Landmarks Preservation Commission thinks probably built them. The result was a six-story Italianate tenement in brick.
“…in 1862, the lot was leased to Joseph Ohmeis. It is likely that he was responsible for the construction of this building.”
