Construction on 79 Grand Street began in June 1889 and ended in January 1890. Oswald Wirz was the architect, and the original owners are recorded as S. F. and T. S. Shortland. The five-story store has a four-bay front of brick, terra cotta and stone, one of three large masonry-fronted buildings on the south side of the block, where cast iron otherwise predominates.
