By 1926 the 1828 house at 309 Sixth Avenue had long had a shop on its ground floor. That year the architect Joseph Martine added height until the building reached four full stories with a flat roof, working for the owner, Yvette Goldfarb. The enlarged building held a store, a doctor's office and two apartments.

In 1963 the architect Ferdinand Innocenti took the top two stories off 309 Sixth Avenue and designed a two-story extension at the rear, which turned the building into a two-story commercial property. The gabled parapet with Tudor-style trussing that crowns the front may date from this work. Since 1987 the shop and basement have been connected to those of no. 307 next door.
