1907
A six-story stable is cited as an example of economical reinforced-concrete floors
James S. Maher commissioned this six-story, twenty-four-foot-wide stable from Lieberson & Weitzer in 1907. A contemporary account held it up as a building where reinforced concrete floors were an economical way to build, and the LPC report lists an April 1908 Real Estate Record and Guide article on the subject. Maher was a principal in the carpentry and building firm Maher & Grasheim, established in 1883.

John Cane & Sons joins 35 and 37 Vestry Street into one storage warehouse in 1937
The stable was first leased to Albert Edwards, who ran a trucking business on Washington Street and later Greenwich Street. In the 1920s the baker's supply firm John Cane & Sons moved here from 45 Jay Street and stayed into the 1940s. In 1937 the firm connected this building internally to 37 Vestry Street for use as storage, and Port Warehouses, Inc. later used it.
“The John Cane & Sons baker's supply firm moved from 45 Jay Street to this building in the 1920s and remained there through the 1940s…”
