Architect Louis F. Heinicke designed the building in 1900-01 for owner Vincent Minnerly, and it replaced four older buildings on the corner of Mott Street. It originally had a one-story corner tower and a roof cornice, both removed sometime between about 1939 and 1988. For much of its history it housed clothing makers, furriers and printers.

The building's long-term tenants from about 1930 included S.B. Shulman Printing, Tompkins Press, Century Printing and Greenwich Envelope, the last three lasting until about 1980. Blumencranz Bros. Glass, the Rennee Footwear Co. and W & M Headwear also rented space. The mix reflects the printing and clothing trades that were strong in this part of NoHo.

In 2021 the City Council approved removing the street sign.
