Italianate row houses go up around 1850 on the west side of Cooper Square
Number 54 was one of a pair of four-story brick row houses, 52 and 54, built about 1850 on the west side of what is now Cooper Square. By the early 1900s the pair had changed over to commercial purposes, and their facades have since been stripped of most of their detail. Their storefront level is now modern infill.

Carl Fischer cuts a new opening between its headquarters and 54 Cooper Square
In 1963 building records show the Carl Fischer Building Corporation as owner when a new opening was made linking the music publisher's 1923 headquarters at 56 to 62 Cooper Square with its neighbor at 54. The firm had already been using 54 since at least 1907, and the opening joined the two buildings internally. Carl Fischer remained on Cooper Square until 1999.
“A new opening was created to the adjacent building at 54 Cooper Square. Owner: Carl Fischer Building Corp.”
