Adolph Giobbe, a contractor, designed this four-story loft building, built in 1912 and 1913 for the J. G. Wendel estate while new lofts were replacing older dwellings nearby. Fur and textile firms were its tenants during the late 1920s and early 1930s, years when the neighborhood was the heart of the fur industry.

Samuel Ost buys 45 Bond Street, and Ost Hardware occupies it until the late 1970s
By the end of World War II the fur and textile tenants had given way to electrical equipment and hardware businesses. Ost Hardware, later Ost Wire & Metals Corp., bought the property in 1946 and stayed until the late 1970s. As factory space emptied, loft dwellers began moving into 45 Bond Street by about 1975.
