   Wholesale milliners Gottlieb and Henry Rosenblatt build 57 Walker Street for the dry-goods trade

   The five-story cast-iron-fronted building, designed by D. & J. Jardine, went up in 1870 for the importers Gottlieb and Henry Rosenblatt, who ran their main business at 392 Broadway. Bavarian-born Gottlieb, who arrived in the United States in 1840, formed G. Rosenblatt & Brother in 1856, presumably with his brother Henry; it became a national leader among wholesale milliners. Both men retired soon after the building was finished. Later owners included the heiress Catharine Lorillard Wolfe and the lawyers Alfred R. and Howard Conkling.

   “…erected in 1870 for importers Gottlieb and Henry Rosenblatt... Among the subsequent owners of the building were Catharine Lorillard Wolfe…”
