    Leon Tannenbaum opens a Renaissance Revival loft at 21 Bond Street, fully rented

    Real estate operator Leon Tannenbaum bought the old Barclay house here in 1892, soon after a basement fire there, and hired Buchman & Deisler to design a six-story loft. The building opened on February 1, 1893, fully rented on ten-year leases. In 1894 court documents quoted him saying he rented over 1,000 buildings nearby.

    A strike at the A. Hahn & Co. luggage factory turns into a brawl outside 21 Bond Street

    A. Hahn & Co., a maker of high-end leather luggage, replaced striking workers with non-union staff in January 1904. When the replacements left at 6 p.m. on January 29, about a dozen strikers attacked them with clubs and fists as a crowd of passersby on the Bowery cheered. One man was stabbed before police broke up the fight. The dispute dragged on for more than two years, and by April 1907 the firm had moved out.

    The loft becomes the Producers Showcase 21 theater, with studios and offices above

    The building was home to textile wholesalers from the late 1930s to the early 1970s, when owner William Israel's Farm Cooperative Corporation converted it into a first-floor theater, Producers Showcase 21, with studios and offices above. Later in the decade the upper floors were reworked into one live/work space per floor for artists. A boutique, Daryl K, opened at ground level in 1996.
