    Architects Sugarman & Berger designed this Art Deco factory building at 270-276 Lafayette Street (63-67 Prince Street and 107-113 Crosby Street), built from 1925 to 1927 for the 63 Prince Street Corp. It followed the opening of a Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit station at Prince Street and Broadway and anticipated an IND subway stop at Houston and Lafayette. The setbacks and spare terra-cotta trim are typical of the style, and the building remains remarkably intact.

    “…designed by architects Sugarman & Berger and built in 1925-27 for the 63 Prince Street Corp., a few years after ... a station of the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit line…”

    Printers and label makers fill the building, then the Josh Baer Gallery arrives in 1985

    Over the decades the building's floors were leased to a wide mix of businesses: Allied Printing and Stationery (1929), Fink, Dumont & White, makers of metal containers (1935), the Jacobs Label Co. (1940) and engravers R. O. H. Hill (1950). By the 1980s SoHo's art trade had arrived, with the Josh Baer Gallery listed here in 1985 and art appraisers in 1995. In 2006 the tenants included Bark Frameworks, an art framer for the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

    “…the Josh Baer Gallery (1985); Appraisal Services Associates, art appraisers (1995); and Bark Frameworks, art framer for the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2006).”
