   An eight-story loft building opens with oriental rug merchants Andalaft Brothers as its first tenant

   Robert J. Blake commissioned the architect Gilbert Robinson to design this narrow, twenty-five-foot-wide loft building in 1900-01. Its first tenant was Andalaft Brothers, dealers in oriental rugs. Dressmakers, cloak and suit merchants and makers of children's clothing followed, the usual mix for the Ladies' Mile. A five-story brick rowhouse had stood on the lot before.
