The Board of Education builds Public School 44 on the lot, replacing houses and stables
Public School 44 was built in 1897 at the southeast corner of Hubert and Collister Streets, on the lot later occupied by this site. It replaced four residences on Hubert Street and several stables on Collister Street. C.B.J. Snyder, the Board of Education's Superintendent of School Buildings, designed the five-story school, with wings along both streets enclosing a court.

1971
Public School 44 and a 1901 warehouse come down, leaving a parking lot
Two buildings on this lot were demolished in 1971, and the ground has been a parking lot since. One was the old Public School 44, which had served as a Works Project Administration office in the 1930s and a police training facility in the 1940s. The other was a six-story warehouse on the Hudson Street extension, built in 1901 to a design by Louis Korn for Samuel Weil.
