Built in 1860 for Aaron Arnold, of the wealthy Arnold and Constable merchant families, the corner building has nine bays on Broome Street and ten on Greene. Its stone Broome Street front is divided into three triple-bay sections, the outer two matching the facade of 19 Mercer Street. The Landmarks Preservation Commission thought it the more effective composition, but could not name the architect.

Dexter, Lambert & Co., the first American silk ribbon weavers, move to 466 Broome Street
Dexter, Lambert & Co. moved to No. 466 Broome Street in 1872, leaving the Franklin Street building it had occupied since 1868. Founded in 1849 for making dress and mantilla trimmings, the firm took silk from John Ryle's Paterson mills. An 1882 history of Paterson credited it as the first in the country to weave silk ribbon, and by 1868 its factory held ninety-six looms.
