    Ellen O'Brien commissioned architect Charles Mettam to put up a five-story brick-and-limestone building on the southeast corner of Grand Street and West Broadway. Work began on February 14, 1882, with Jeans & Taylor as carpenters, and finished on October 28 of that year. The Landmarks Preservation Commission lists it under its West Broadway address, 331-335, with six bays and two more on the Grand Street side.
