Architect Thomas R. Jackson designed this five-story building in 1883 for soap manufacturer James Pyle. It appears to have been built as an adjunct to Pyle's main plant at 430-436 Greenwich Street, and a one-story extension at the rear housed the power plant for the soap works in the neighboring seven-story building.
