William Lambeau built the five-story brick building in 1870 from plans by R. G. Hatfield. Its owner was Nathaniel Whitman, and his family kept it until at least 1886. The city report says it went up as this part of Manhattan was turning more commercial, and its upper floors were in manufacturing use from the start.
