1854
Lace importers Rogers and Walker buy 49 Warren Street and rent out its new loft building
In 1854 the lace-importing partners Thomas Rogers and William C. Walker bought the lot at 49 Warren Street from the estate of Elizabeth Walsh, whose family had owned it since 1812 and had turned the old house into a boarding house by 1850. A five-story, marble-faced store and loft building went up around then, a design the landmarks commission attributes to architect Samuel A. Warner. The partners never moved in; they kept the property until 1865 and lived off the rents.

Joseph B. Kopf, a maker of horse-racing equipment, buys 49 Warren Street
The Kopf Manufacturing Co., founded by Joseph B. Kopf (1874-1960), was working out of 49 Warren Street by about 1917, making horse clothing and goods for the racing trade. Kopf bought the building outright in 1920. His company remained there through 1960, and the building stayed in the Kopf family until 1969, one of many dry goods, leather and hardware occupants over the years.
