In 1931 the Beck-Lafayette Realty Corporation built a three-story garage and gas station, designed by David S. Lang, to replace the old Lafayette Place Hotel. At the time, many older houses, institutions and businesses nearby were being torn down to make room for parking lots and service stations for the growing number of cars. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's survey noted that it was still in use as a garage and service station.
