Built in 1929 for Philip Wolf to plans by F.H. Klie, the one-story building at 55-63 Bleecker Street held stores and a service station. It took the place of several three- and four-story brick houses, part of a wave of demolition as old residential buildings gave way to parking lots and gas stations for the growing number of car owners. The rear section facing Lafayette Street was rebuilt in the 1960s.
