William Astor's long Queen Anne market building opens to produce and butter-and-egg merchants
James W. Cole designed this five-story market building for William Astor in 1887, spread over two lots along Washington Street. Its first tenants were produce and provisions merchants, among them Pape & Deyo, Henry E. Schwitters and Joseph B. Kirk, along with the butter-and-egg dealers Christian H. Koster and Patrick Ford & Son and the fruit firm Lauricella & Pittorino. By the late 1920s meatpackers such as Scanlan Bros. and Adolf Kusy & Co. were the main tenants.

The biker bar Hogs & Heifers and 1990s clubs including Mother and Jackie 60 move into the market building
The Landmarks Preservation Commission's report lists the bar Hogs & Heifers here from the early 1990s, and 1993 to 2003 in its tenant roll. The same list names the Clit Club, Mother and Jackie 60 as clubs in the building in the 1990s. Meat wholesalers such as Adolf Kusy & Co. are listed as tenants into the 1990s, so nightlife and the meat trade shared the building.
