An earlier two-story building owned by James Foster's estate stands on the lot of 45 Great Jones Street by the mid-1860s
Tax assessment records show an earlier two-story building on this lot, owned by the estate of James Foster, from at least the mid-1860s. The records list a three-story building here around 1893-94, so the earlier one was either enlarged or replaced.

Great Jones Lumber Corporation is established at 45 Great Jones Street
Isaac Rosenzweig leased the building in 1923 and bought it in 1925; in 1929 directories list Rosenzweig Lumber Company and a maker of office partitions here. Great Jones Lumber Corporation was founded in 1934, and the LPC report places it at the address ever since. Rosenzweig kept an office in the building and moved into real estate, which remained there until at least 1980.
