In 1860 merchant Frederick M. Peyser developed 58-60 Reade Street as two identical five-story buildings, renting the land from Grace Episcopal Church of Jamaica, then on Long Island. The marble front, with tall double-height arches, is attributed to the architect Isaac F. Duckworth. The buildings replaced two brick dwellings with shops at No. 58 and a frame house and a brick house at No. 60.
