The lot at 127 East 7th Street belonged to John Jacob Astor's holdings. His heirs let Samuel Bessey and Thomas E. Tripler take it on a lease in 1860, and the pair built the five-story tenement around 1861. The Astor family sold off this property many years afterward, and Mary Jaeger bought the building in 1905.
