The real estate investors Ogden and Robert Goelet commissioned architect Edward H. Kendall to design this five-story tenement in 1881, and it was finished the following year. It occupies an irregular lot running through the block from Sixth Avenue to Cornelia Street, and its small airshafts mark it as an old-law tenement. It went up as the Village's early row houses were being replaced by housing for working-class and immigrant families.

An alteration moves the entrance of 329 Sixth Avenue to Cornelia Street and drops a store
In 1965 the architect Ferdinand Innocenti reworked the building's ground floor, moving the main entrance from Sixth Avenue around to Cornelia Street and eliminating one of its three stores. A small one-story extension had been added at the rear of the Sixth Avenue side back in 1884. When the landmark report was written, the Cornelia Street ground floor stood boarded up.
