In 1890 the carpet merchant Jeremiah Dimick had this five-story building put up on Hubert Street, on the site of a small early-nineteenth-century building. Matthew A. Ryan was the architect and M.A. Ryan Brothers the builder. It resembles 413 Greenwich Street, built a year earlier, and shares its cornice design.

Carpet dealer Dimick may use 17 Hubert for storage; a later sign names a tea and coffee importer
Dimick ran his carpet business from 268-270 Canal Street, and afterward from 111 Fifth Avenue. In the 1890s he may have stored carpets here and at the neighboring 413 Greenwich Street. Sign painting on the facade, naming Dayton Corsa & Co., importers of teas and coffees, records a later tenant.
“Dimick may have used this building and the adjacent 413 Greenwich Street (a/k/a/ 19 Hubert Street) for carpet storage in the 1890s.”
