In 1937 a one-story taxpayer store was built at 15 Greenwich Avenue for Helen Robertson, to designs by Charles Kreymborg. It replaced a four-story building that had a store at street level. The 1969 district report described the little shop, wedged between two tall buildings, as better than an empty lot.

A 2021 application proposed demolishing the one-story commercial building at 15 Greenwich Avenue and putting up a five-story mixed-use building with a cellar and attic. Community Board 2 recommended denial unless the design was modified, and the Landmarks Preservation Commission received 72 letters from the public in opposition, plus two from community groups including Village Preservation. On October 19, 2021, the commission approved the project with modifications by a unanimous vote.
