Around 1889 Adam Munch, a German carpenter, developed three Romanesque Revival tenements side by side on Jones Street to house the Village's growing working-class and immigrant population. He sold all three after construction. Numbers 13 and 15 were passed along together to the same owners until 1904, after which they were owned separately for nearly seventy years.

In April 1973 a fire heavily damaged the tenements at 13 and 15 Jones Street, and the Department of Buildings ordered both emptied. In July of that year the Thompson Five Seven Corporation bought the two buildings, combined them and renovated them, keeping part of the original first-story facade.
