    An office boy is arrested in a freight-theft scheme run through a Bond Street clothing maker

    For several months in 1910 cloth ordered by clothing maker Jacob Cohn at No. 39 vanished after being shipped by rail. Detectives found that the bills of lading had been taken and signed with forged signatures to claim the goods. The trail led to 19-year-old office boy Abe Silverberg, who passed the stolen documents to Moses Trosky. Silverberg was arrested on December 18, and a detective said Trosky had given him $70 as his cut.

    Photographer Harold Feinstein teaches a ten-week workshop from his studio in No. 39

    After the 1970s left most of the building empty, artists began moving into the NoHo blocks. In 1973 photographer Harold Feinstein led a ten-week creative photography workshop at his studio in No. 39, open to beginners and advanced students for $100. The Carat Conway Dance Studio opened in the building in 1977, and in 1994 the two buildings were joined and the upper floors became artists' live-work lofts.
