1845
Martin Walsh lives at 309 Mott Street in an earlier building on the lot
In 1845 Martin and John Walsh took title to 307 and 309 Mott Street, and Martin lived at No. 309 through at least 1851. That was before the present tenement existed, so he lived in an earlier building on the site, since the brothers put up the Italianate tenement in about 1867 to 1868. They lost both properties through foreclosure in 1881.

1957
The upper floors of 309 Mott Street are renovated as apartments in 1957
Italian-born residents or those of Italian descent grew from half of the building's tenants around 1900 to all of them by 1915. The upper floors were vacated in the 1940s, perhaps after a 1941 foreclosure, and the second floor became offices in 1950. The upper floors were renovated in 1957, turning the building into a multiple dwelling, which it remains today.
