Cleverdon & Putzel designed this seven-story store-and-loft building in 1892 for Samson Simon, with F. H. Mela as builder. Unlike the firm's more ornate work elsewhere in the district, the decoration here is mostly geometric and restrained, worked in brick and brownstone. Directories show that from 1929 to 1970 most tenants were in the garment and hat trades.

Artists begin converting vacant loft space at 30 Bond Street into live/work homes
After the Second World War, Manhattan's manufacturing base shrank and the building's commercial floors emptied. Artists began turning the vacant space into joint living and working quarters in the mid-1970s. During the 1930s the building had also housed printers, bookbinders, and makers of lamps and lampshades. It is now a condominium with a commercial ground floor.
