1893
Edward Benneche and his brother Henry run a cane business from their new loft at 43 Great Jones Street
Graul & Frohne designed this Romanesque Revival loft for Edward Benneche in 1892-93, with a brownstone base and an elaborate terra-cotta cornice. Once it was finished, Edward and his brother Henry Benneche ran their cane business out of it. Ownership passed to a trust company as trustee in 1912, and Edward J. F. Benneche and others held it in 1935.
“Benneche and his brother Henry operated their cane business from the building upon its completion…”

Importer E. Miltenberg rents space at 43 Great Jones Street for about 35 years
Directories list E. Miltenberg, an import and export firm, at this address from 1929 until roughly 1965. As manufacturing left NoHo, the building turned residential. A 1979 alteration set up joint live/work quarters for artists, and the city issued a certificate of occupancy for the conversion in 1985.
