The building went up in 1882 for the banker Richard T. Wilson, to designs by J. Morgan Slade, an architect known for commercial buildings with French-inspired detail. His relative William G. Slade did the masonry. The cast-iron storefront carries the foundry mark of Lindsay, Graff & Megquier of East 14th Street, and the new building took the place of the northern part of its neighbor to the south.
