A two-alarm fire ends Village Paper, the stationery store on the Greenwich Avenue corner
After Cushman's Bakery closed, the corner held an antiques shop by 1941, and then Sutter's Bakery, which moved in from Bleecker Street and shut in 1976 when its rent jumped. Around 1990 the Village Paper stationery store took the space. In February 2010 the store went up in a two-alarm fire, and its owner could not rebuild.
