Hugh Getty hired architect Henri Fouchaux in 1908 to design this fifty-foot-wide warehouse, which closely resembles a Fouchaux building Getty's firm had constructed at 111-113 Hudson Street. Getty built and developed several properties in Tribeca. The new warehouse replaced two early-nineteenth-century masonry houses.
“In 1908 Hugh Getty commissioned architect Henri Fouchaux to design No. 153-155 which is quite similar to a building of Fouchaux's that Getty's contracting firm erected…”

1920
Paper, olives, ink stands and rice imports fill the Hudson Street warehouse
Getty rented the warehouse to tenants who stored paper, processed olives, assembled ink stands and used it for general storage. In the 1920s the Cresca Company, a rice importer, occupied space here. By the 1950s the building handled food packing and processing, and the Standard Importing Company was its occupant when the report was written.
“Getty leased this warehouse to tenants engaged in paper storage, olive processing, and the assembly of ink stands, as well as general storage.”
