The estate of the fancy-goods merchant Joseph Bayley put up this five-story building in 1866-67 on the site of Bayley's own masonry dwelling. The same estate had already commissioned 40 Walker Street. Tenants over the years included Crane, Fell & Company, upholstery importers, Richard Lawrence, an importer of fancy goods, and Peter R. Weiler, a maker of shirtwaists and blouses. A cast-iron lamp post with a 'NY CITY' foundry plate survives at the sidewalk.
