William Graul, architect of 39-43 Carmine Street, partners with William C. Frohne in 1892
William Graul was working as an architect in New York by 1868 and practiced until 1903, apart from a short stretch around 1890 when directories listed him as a draftsman. In 1892 he was in partnership with William C. Frohne, and together they designed 43 Great Jones Street. Within this district his other designs include 23 Jones Street, 7-9 Cornelia Street and 45-47 Carmine Street.

By about 1938 the original storefronts of 41 and 43 Carmine Street are gone, but seven cast-iron piers remain
The Landmarks Preservation Commission describes the pair as one eight-bay brick front trimmed in cast iron, with seven historic cast-iron piers and three storefronts. Two matching neo-Grec pressed-metal cornices crown it, one over the first four bays and one over the last four. The historic storefronts themselves had been removed by about 1938.
