Edward H. Kendall's five-story Italianate building at 378-380 West Broadway was put up in 1873-74 for Jarvis Meade. It followed the widening of Laurens Street, when many buildings on its west side were demolished and the street became South Fifth Avenue. The cast-iron elements came from the J. L. Jackson Brothers foundry. The facade has since lost its rusticated piers and bracketed crowns.

The building becomes art galleries and artists' studios, later occupied by the Gottlieb Foundation
After serving as the City Record's offices from 1929 to 1933 and later as a paper warehouse, the building was converted in 1970 to galleries and fine-arts studios. Later tenants included the Linda Rodin Boutique (1979) and the Nahan Gallery (1987). The Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation occupied it by 1997.
