William E. Doubleday, a merchant of straw goods and hats, had David Patton design this six-story building, which is only 19 feet wide and went up in 1866-68. Before it was built, the lot held a two-story masonry house with a frame structure behind it. Tenants included Cornish, Anderson & Company, sellers of woolens and men's wear, and Charles Nourse & Company, sellers of hosiery, gloves and shirts.

In the 1960s, 37 Walker's upper floors turn into an art studio and duplex loft apartments
For many years the building served for storage, showrooms and light manufacturing. In the 1960s the second floor became a studio for fine arts, and floors three to six were turned into duplex studios and apartments. By the time of the district's designation the ground floor held the offices of a construction firm.
“…in the 1960s the second floor was converted into a fine arts studio and the third through sixth floors into duplex studios and apartments.”
