James Pyle puts up a seven-story warehouse where a lard refinery had stood
An earlier building on this site was a seven-story warehouse, built in 1885-86 to designs by Thomas R. Jackson for the soap manufacturer James Pyle. It took the place of part of the William T. Wilcox & Company lard refinery. It was the third of five buildings Pyle put up on the block, and the other four still stand. Space in it was rented in the 1910s by the American Woolen Company of New York.

The collapsed Pyle warehouse is cleared and the lot turns to a diner, a repair shop and a gas station
The earlier seven-story warehouse on this site had collapsed by 1930, and its ruins were demolished under a 1932 permit. A diner was set up beside the repair shop in 1933, and during the 1940s a Mobil gasoline service station operated on the lot. The site later became the parking lot described in the district report.
