    Teichman Engineering & Construction Co. owned and built the warehouse in 1909 to plans by Moore & Landsiedel. Afterward the finished building passed to the bankers and brokers Moritz L. and Carl Ernst, and in 1912 to Canebrake Realty Co. Canebrake owned both parts from 1923 until the state's Mortgage Commission foreclosed in 1936, and a new realty corporation bought the building in 1938.

  2. 1912

    Canebrake Realty tears down an 18th-century wooden house to widen the warehouse by 25 feet

    The land just north of the 1909 warehouse, at 712 Greenwich Street, held a two-story wood-framed house from the 1700s. In 1912 it was demolished and replaced by a 25-foot-wide addition to the warehouse, designed by Matthew W. Del Gaudio for Canebrake Realty. The following year the new section passed to Gilbert G. Newhouse, a prosperous banker from New York.

  3. 1978

    The warehouse and the former stable next door are merged and converted into apartments

    In 1978-80 the architects Rothzeid, Kaiserman & Thomson combined 708-712 Greenwich Street with the old stable at 704-706 onto one lot and turned both into apartments. Before that the warehouse had housed paper and shoe-supply businesses and, from about 1965 to 1979, BFG Marine Supply Co. and Ship Service Mfg. Co., makers of brass shipfittings.
