Frederick Steinle Sr. owned this corner lot from 1835 until his death in 1860, and in 1881 his estate built a five-story multiple dwelling with commercial space below, designed by architect William Jose. The corner is chamfered and carries stone plaques reading Greenwich Street and Charles Street between the third and fourth floors. The Steinle estate sold the building in 1911.
