Martin and John Walsh built this five-story brick tenement around 1867 to 1868, together with a similar one next door at 309. They had owned the lots since 1845 and lost both properties to foreclosure in 1881. No architect has been identified, and the building went up when many older dwellings in the area were being replaced with larger ones.

1900
Italian families fill 307 Mott Street by 1900 and leave the upper floors empty in the 1940s
Italian immigrants were a growing force in the neighborhood, and the building's tenants went from eighty percent Italian-born or of Italian descent to all of them by 1900. The upper floors were vacated in the 1940s, perhaps after a foreclosure in 1941, and the second floor became offices in 1948. In 1957 owner David Taub converted the building to a multiple dwelling.
