Thomas Lewis, who developed many buildings in the district, built this five-story, 25-foot-wide store in 1857-58 on the site of a masonry building. Its facade matches the one he built next door at No. 36 slightly later. The cast-iron storefront appears in Daniel Badger's 1865 Architectural Iron Works catalogue, and the Badger foundry plate is still on the building.
