The land at 439 East 6th Street was part of the Astor family's East Village holdings and passed to William B. Astor on John Jacob Astor's death. In 1860 John Keckeisen took a lease on it and had a five-story tenement built, one of a row of five on lots 37 to 41. Small windows were inserted on every story in 1905.
