1845
A Unitarian congregation moves into a new building at 548 Broadway (an earlier building on the site)
This was an earlier building on the site. In 1845 a Unitarian congregation, later known as All Souls, moved into a new building at 548 Broadway, and the next year it renamed itself the Church of the Divine Unity. It left within a decade, and by 1855 had dedicated a third building at Fourth Avenue and 20th Street. The present five-story store at 548 Broadway was completed in 1866.

1901
An iron front unites John Correja's two stores at 546 and 548 Broadway
John Correja designed both buildings: No. 548 in 1866 for Stethar Nichols, as a store and storerooms, and No. 546 in 1874 for F. H. Possitt, built by Amos Woodruff as a store and lofts. An alteration in 1901 replaced their original marble and brick fronts with iron, and the two now form a single five-bay facade. The district report lists the combined building as running through to Crosby Street.
